Description

A tall jar with a flaring rim, narrow neck and rounded body stands alone against a plain backdrop. The neck and shoulder carry painted horizontal bands, rectangular panels and zigzag and curved motifs in dark paint on a pale surface. The lower body is plain and worn, with a chipped area near the shoulder and a small pale break at the rim edge.
