A one-handled jug with a broad lip decorated with bands and geometric shapes. The lip has short hatch marks around the opening and three rings of dark and light brown. The body is decorated with dark and light brown, irregular bands. Around the center of the body, a band with geometric patterns, including chevrons and lattice designs. Around the lower body, a band with patterns of groups of three vertical hatch marks. The decoration on the handle is mostly worn away, but was divided into a grid pattern. The clay is dark brown; a small chip is missing from the rim. There is incrustation around the handle and on the inside.
