Description

A round, flattened vessel with a short wide neck and two loop handles with open centres stands on a three-legged metal stand. A raised tubular boss in the middle of the body is ringed by concentric bands, and dark painted bands and curving figures, possibly animals, cover the rest of the body. The vessel is photographed against a plain pale backdrop and the print is mounted on a card with a margin.
