Description

Three rows of pottery vessels stand on a dark board, shown from the front. Most are jugs, juglets and bottle shapes with narrow necks, loop handles and spouts. Many have painted geometric bands, triangles and dotted patterns, and some have small applied knobs or lugs. The largest vessel stands near the centre of the top row, and the forms vary in height and outline across the arrangement.
