Description

A round-bodied jug with a tall flaring neck and a strap handle is painted in buff, dark grey and red on pale paper. A long-necked bird with a curved beak and curled feet runs across the shoulder, with a red oval on one side and red sprig-like motifs on the body. Red and dark bands circle the neck, and a small hooked sign and circle sit near the rim.
