Large squat earthenware jar with dual 'lug' or 'string-hole' handles and a rounded base, decorated with paint in a deep red. On the body are closely packed spirals, and around the flat, out-turned rim is a band of strokes forming a lattice. Two sections of the lip, and the chips to the lip and lug handle restored.

Needler states that this type of vessel is clearly an imitation of their stone counterparts, and that the red and cream bichrome of breccia is imitated by the spirals.
