Description

Many pottery vessels are arranged in rows on several tiered shelves covered in dark cloth against a dark drape. Larger pale jars and jugs with painted bands stand at the top, with bowls, jugs, juglets and small cups below, and a few animal-shaped vessels in the lower middle. Red handwritten numbers are painted on many pieces, and a shallow dish and a lidded vessel sit at the sides.
