Description:   Neck mended from many pieces; a few small ones still missing. Ring base; swelling body with greatest diameter above center; neck distinct from body, but flares slightly to meet it; ends above in flaring rim; cylindrical handles set horizontally at point of greatest circumference.
Decorated in glaze with broad reserved band at handles, a narrower one on top of body, and a narrow stripe on center of neck. In handle band, triple wavy line in thin glaze, bordered by narrow stripes (double below, single above). In shoulder band, row of motifs set on a narrow glaze stripe: concentric semicircles around a sort of hourglass in more solid glaze. On each handle single stripe follows the curve and stripes on either side set off handle from wavy line band.
Pinkish clay. Unglazed surface, buff. Glaze thin, brownish. Wavy lines appear to have been painted as dark as the solidly glazed portions.
Proto-Geometric.
