Here is a description of the image:

The image shows a small, ancient Greek pottery vase, likely an aryballos used for holding perfume or oil. The vase is terracotta in color with black details. It has a bulbous body that tapers towards the bottom and a small, flared foot. The neck is narrow with a wider, flattened mouth. A simple handle connects the neck to the body of the vase.

The vase is decorated with black painted figures. On the body of the vase, there is a stylized image of a dog-like creature with its head raised. Above it, there is a leaf or other plant-like motif. The foot, neck, and handle are also painted in black.

The vase appears to be aged and possibly weathered, with a slightly rough texture to the terracotta. The background is a plain, light blue/grey color.
