Description

A jug with a rounded body, a narrow base and a tall neck flaring to a broken, uneven rim. A single strap handle rises from the shoulder to the rim, and the upper body carries painted bands and motifs in dark paint, partly worn and flaked. It stands on a plain surface against a grey backdrop.
