Description

A two-handled jar with a short flaring neck, rounded body and low ring foot, photographed alone against a plain pale background. Dark painted wavy lines run across the shoulder, with broad horizontal bands around the lower body. A small handwritten mark sits on the neck and a dark rectangular patch shows on the side; the surface is speckled and worn.
