0312.jpg

Flat-bottomed jar with a rather short neck bearing an orange slip. There is black and red decoration in two horizontal superposed bands on the upper part of the exterior. The upper one is completely filled with a black design representing a vine-branch, a theme borrowed from Hellenistic Egypt, while the lower band contains a frieze composed of a series of drop-like shapes linked together by two horizontal lines.
