A translucent, creamy white travertine vessel features a rounded body tapering into a long, cylindrical neck. A flat lid rests atop a flared rim, while a horizontal band encircles the upper neck. On the left, a wide strap handle connects the band to the shoulder. Mottled, cloudy textures swirl through the stone. The vessel stands on a small, flared foot, its surface displaying soft white striations and varied translucency throughout.
