: Dark grey clay jug with hollow ring foot, a pear shaped bottom section with a long thin neck. The mouth is flared with a plain rim and there is a handle going from a moulded double line on the neck to the shoulder. There is a sticker with the number '7' on the main body of the jug. The jug leans to one side and there is a chip in the base. The shape is that of an opium poppy seed head. From Cyprus, possibly made for opium-based medicines.
