Description

A single jug stands on a pale surface against a light background, seen from the side. It has a wide flaring rim, a narrow neck, a strap handle, a small spout and a rounded body tapering to a flat base. Three dark bands run around the upper body above a plain buff lower body, and the surface shows worn, flaking patches.
