Description

A round-bodied jug with a wide collar neck stands on a plain surface against a grey backdrop. Dark painted decoration shows a small rider with an outstretched arm on a long-necked animal with a curved tail, and spiral rosettes fill the space around them. The number 768 is painted on the lower body, and handwritten notes appear along the bottom edge of the print.
