Description

The jar stands upright on a flat ring base against a plain pale backdrop. It has a wide flaring rim, a ribbed neck, a rounded body and two strap handles rising from the shoulder to the upper neck. The grey surface shows dark patches and wear, and a printed scale bar with a legend runs along the bottom edge, with blue handwriting at the lower left.
