Description

Dozens of ceramic vessels stand in three tiers on a draped, dark-topped display. Round-bodied jugs and flasks with loop handles and narrow necks fill the upper rows, while smaller juglets and jugs crowd the lower shelf. Some vessels have painted bands and simple patterns on their shoulders. The photograph is mounted on an album page with wide cream margins.
