Description

Around twenty pottery vessels are arranged in rows across a dark ground. A large round-bodied jar with a spout sits in the centre foreground, flanked by tall jugs with handles and narrow juglets. Several shallow bowls and lids with radiating or vertical painted bands are scattered among them, and the bands and rings on the vessels stand out in lighter tones.
