A tall jug with a wide flaring mouth, a rounded body, a small foot and a single curved handle on the right, photographed on a pale surface. Dark bands and pale reserved panels cover the body, with triangles, scrolls and rectangular panels filled with a hatched or star-like pattern on the neck and shoulder.
