Description

A two-handled jar stands on a wooden surface against a dark background, with a white outline painted around its edges. The body has several dark horizontal bands, and the neck carries a panel with a diamond-shaped motif framed by vertical and hatched bands. Handles rise from the shoulders to the rim, and the rounded base rests on the planks.
