Description

A large, tall storage jar with a wide flared neck, rounded shoulders and a tapering base, shown on a stepped display plinth against a dark background. Several raised, incised bands run around the shoulder and body, with arched and looping lines below the neck. The surface is pale and shows cracks and patches of darker staining, and a small card label sits at the foot of the plinth.
