Description

A round-bodied jug with a tall, flaring neck stands on a flat base against a grey backdrop. Dark horizontal bands run round the neck and shoulder, and a large painted cross-shaped design of rectangles, zigzags and hatching covers the body, with smaller looped and dotted motifs beside it. A handwritten number is on the right side and the surface is flaked on the left; the print is mounted on a bordered card.
