Description

Four rows of small pottery vessels fill a dark rounded-corner panel on an album page. The forms include jugs with handles, juglets with long necks, round-bodied bottles, footed bowls and a few tall vases. Most have banded or ringed decoration in dark paint on a pale clay surface, and the objects are spaced evenly across each row.
