Description

A tall jug with a flared mouth, a single loop handle and a rounded body stands on a short foot. The neck carries a painted bird in dark paint on a light panel, with geometric bands and star-like rosettes above and below. The lower body shows horizontal bands and spoked, wheel-like motifs, and the worn surface is speckled with dark marks, with a scale bar at lower right.
