Description

A two-handled jar stands on a ring base, with a narrow neck, flat strap handles rising from the shoulder and a rounded, pear-shaped body. The surface is made up of many joined sherds, with cracks visible, and dark painted bands and curved motifs show partly on the body. It is photographed against a plain pale background.
