Description

A globular pottery vessel with a wide mouth, photographed against a light background. The shoulder carries a band of parallel white lines, and the body has zigzag bands and a branched, tree-like motif of short strokes. Two flat discs with radiating spokes and two upright projections with flared tops rise from the rim, and the lower body shows pale wear patches.
