Description

About thirty pottery vessels are arranged in three rows on a dark draped cloth that forms stepped shelves. The top row has large round-bodied vessels and flasks beside smaller jugs. The middle and bottom rows hold jugs and juglets with handles, spouts and narrow necks, in pale buff and grey tones, with some surfaces showing wear and marks.
