Description

A dug-out floor of pale earth is strewn with pottery: a tall jug and a two-handled vessel stand against the far bank, and a large jug lies on its side at the left edge. Several small bowls, lids and a dark small juglet lie scattered across the floor, with a rounded jar in the lower centre. Shadows of the photographer fall across the lower left corner.
