Description

A single jug with a tall flaring neck, one loop handle on the left and a rounded body on a low foot, photographed against a plain grey backdrop. Dark painted bands and panels decorate the pale surface, including a star-like motif on the neck, small patterned squares, a band with a bird-like figure on the shoulder and vertical hatching on the lower body. The surface is worn and chipped in places, and a scale bar lies at the lower left.
