Wide strap handle extends from shoulder of vessel to lip of rim. From Blegen (Zygouries): "Jug with a broad squat body and a tall cylindrical neck, the top of which is finished almost in the form of a small sauceboat. The neck widens out at the top and the line of the rim is carried along on each side in a symmetrical rising curve to the tips of the projecting spout. The spout is fairly deep, flares slightly toward its end, and has a gently rolled edge. A row of rivet heads seems to have been imitated by small applied pellets of clay near the handle attachment, only one of which now survives. On the inside of the mouth, close to the rim and almost corresponding to the junction of the handle and the neck, is a simple plastic decoration. A narrow strip of clay has been attached here in the form of a curving U, with a rivet head, again represented in the same way on either side. This vessel shows signs of metal imitation.
