Description

Many painted vessels are arranged in three rows on a dark cloth. Round-bodied jugs with necks and handles stand at the back and front, with some tall flask-shaped vessels among them. Shallow dishes with two handles and small footed cups sit between them. The surfaces are decorated with concentric circles, bands and stripes.
