The center is marked with a small protruding point on both short sides. A single handle on the long side, mounted at the greatest bulge of the body and at the base of the neck, bent at a right angle. Quite long neck, strongly flaring, conical spout. Neck and handle slightly offset from the vessel axis; the handle is mounted at a slight angle, with a very clear trace of finger pressure on the right side where it is attached to the neck. Reddish-brown clay. Yellowish-brownish engobe. Decoration in black-brown and matte red. The rim is decorated externally with a wide matte red band. The body is decorated on both sides with two groups of three concentric black-brown lines, of varying widths and spacing. In the groups on the shorter sides, the outer line is much wider than the others. Protruding points are marked in black-brown. Preservation condition: cracked and glued neck and handle.
