Description

A tall jar with a flaring rim, narrow neck and rounded body stands on a low ring foot. Its painted decoration includes bands, star-like motifs, a checkerboard-like pattern on the neck and vertical stripes on the lower body. The paint is worn and flaked in places, and a scale bar lies at the lower left against a plain background.
