Description (Physical description)
A tall slender jug with a long neck and looped handled. The base has a pie-crust effect. The body is ornamented with concentric rings with a small protruding ring around the base of the neck. The jug was misshapen before the clay fully dry so there is a sunken area in the body and the rim is not completely round. There is a slight chip in the foot.
