PINGVED? V?
Unknown artist
This albarello-shaped drug jar is decorated with the image of a gray bearded monk holding a staff in one hand and a snake in the other. The second image is of a castle. Both images are surrounded by flowers and birds. The escroll across the lower shoulder is marked, <i>PINGVED? V?</i>. A good portion of the glaze has peeled off from the surface particularly around the lower shoulder area.
