Description

A two-handled vessel with a wide, flaring mouth, a rounded body and a low splayed foot, photographed against a plain pale background. Dark horizontal bands run around the neck and body, and hatched fan-like arcs with curved motifs appear on the shoulder on either side of the handles. Cracks and join lines show the vessel has been reassembled from fragments.
