A tall, rounded stoneware vessel features a small cylindrical neck. Its body is layered with wide horizontal bands of dark and reddish-brown. Overlapping white markings are etched across the entire surface, creating a dense, cross-hatched texture. These frantic, incised scratches partially obscure the underlying colors, giving the vessel a weathered, rough appearance. The form tapers slightly at the top and base, where shadows emphasize its cylindrical volume.
