Description

A rounded jug with a short, wide collar neck and a flat rim stands on a pale surface against a light cloth backdrop. Dark painted decoration covers the body: a figure sits on the back of an animal with a long arched neck and striped mane, its legs extended in a gallop. Small concentric circle motifs and a feathery sprig appear around the scene.
