Description

A tall wheel-made jug with a single strap handle rising from the rim to the shoulder, shown on a pale surface against a plain grey backdrop. The body is pale with dark painted horizontal bands around the lower belly, a wavy spiral band across the shoulder, and a framed panel of triangles and linear patterns on the neck. The surface is worn and the rim shows some chipping.
