Description

A rounded pottery vessel with a single loop handle and a short flared neck, photographed against a grey backdrop. The pale body carries a dark painted animal with long thin legs, a curved neck and a long slender head with horns, and a small concentric-ring motif sits on the neck. The surface is worn and speckled, and a handwritten pencil label is partly visible at the bottom left.
