Description

A single pottery vessel is shown in side view on a pale surface, casting a soft shadow beneath it. It is elongated and boat-shaped, with a shallow open interior visible along the top, a horizontal ridge running around the body, a short rounded projection at the left end and a tapering, upturned point at the right. The surface shows wear, and a crack runs down the lower body near the centre.
