Two zones of concentric circles surround separated by two thin lines encircle the body of this White Painted Ware oinochoe. The bottom of the neck has a single line, and at the top, where the rim begins to flare, are two more lines. The edge of the trefoil rim and the exterior of the handle are also painted; the handle has broad stripes along each edge with horizontal slashes across. A large curlicue descends from the base of the handle.
