Description

The jug stands on a low ring foot on a pale surface against a grey backdrop. Its rounded body is covered in many closely spaced dark horizontal bands, with a dark wavy motif running across the shoulder. A tall neck rises to a spout shaped like a bird's head, and a strap handle curves from the rim down to the shoulder; a scale bar stands at the left edge.
