Description

A tall-necked vessel with a single strap handle and a rounded, pear-shaped body tapering to a pointed base. The dark, polished surface is flecked with light patches, and incised motifs of circles and hatching run down the neck and shoulder, with another motif on the body at left. It stands upright on a plain grey backdrop, photographed straight on, with a graduated scale strip along the left edge.
