The high-shouldered jar has a wide mouth and vertical rim, it tapers gently to a small, recessed, flat base. The decoration is in three horizontal bands. The central band has lozenge-shaped panels containing a crane in a landscape, a rabbit in a landscape, and another crane in a landscape, with closely painted spiral patterns in the spandrels. The band above the central band is decorated with spirals and squiggles, and the band above the foot with classic scroll.
