A tan and gray earthenware jug features a wide, flaring mouth tapering to a narrow neck and expanding into a bulbous body. A small, rounded handle sits at the back rim. The weathered surface is decorated with incised vertical lines and large ovals containing petal-like markings around the middle. Faint horizontal lines encircle the lower section, while irregular coloring and an uneven rim give the vessel an aged, textured appearance.
