A dark, polished pottery vessel with a rounded body standing on three short feet. A tall spout rises at the upper right and a strap handle arches over the top to meet it. Rows of small pierced dots run in bands around the body, a pierced lug sits at the left side, and the surface shows some chips and a dark patch.
