Two fragmentary ceramic vessels are set side by side on a pale surface against a plain grey background. On the left, a wide round-bodied bowl has dark horizontal bands and a broken rim. On the right, a jug with a looped handle and a narrow neck shows cracks and missing sections. A black-and-white chequered scale rod stands between them.
