Description

Many pottery vessels stand in a long row on a draped surface in front of a dark backdrop. Tall jugs with loop handles and long necks stand at the back, with round-bodied jars, a footed bowl and several shallow plates in the middle. Smaller juglets, a lamp-like piece and small cups sit at the front, and a flat stone lies at the right end.
