A muted tan and charcoal gray ceramic vessel features an ovoid body tapering to a small base. Its exterior is encrusted with rhythmic horizontal bands of raised texture. Pointed studs ring the shoulder above two rows of rounded bumps separated by small beads. Diagonal, almond-shaped ridges circle the lower half. The flared neck leads to a wide mouth, accentuating the vessel's weathered and tactile surface.
