The image shows a ceramic jug with a turquoise and black glaze. The jug has a handle on the left side. The body of the jug is bulbous with a narrow base. The base of the jug appears to be made of terracotta. There are black lines around the rim. The jug features a design of running animals, possibly dogs or wolves, in black against a turquoise background. The animals are depicted in a stylized manner with curved bodies and legs. The jug's glaze is predominantly turquoise with black accents. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
