Description

A rounded vessel with a tall, flaring neck and a narrow base stands against a pale backdrop. Two vertical strap handles run from the neck to the shoulder, carved with chevron and herringbone lines, and the neck has notched ridges on either side. The body bears incised zigzag bands, hatched strokes and circle motifs, and a checked scale bar runs along the left edge of the print.
