A reddish-brown ceramic vessel features a bulbous, round body and a cylindrical neck with a jagged, broken top. A curved handle connects the neck to the body, alongside a small pierced projection on the shoulder. White incised patterns cover the surface, including a large concentric circle on the front flanked by vertical columns of repeating, short lines. Diamond motifs adorn the neck, while horizontal bands encircle the neck base and lower body.
