Description

A small white square card sits on a cream background and carries a dark, roughly circular object filling much of its width. The object's edges are soft and its surface shows faint lighter patches, so its form cannot be read clearly as a vessel. A small dark speck lies to the left of the object, and a thin mark projects from its right edge.

Description, scan 2
A photograph mounted on a pale grey card shows a small, dark, roughly round object with an uneven, pitted surface above a dark square tag bearing a white handwritten number label. The object is seen against the light grey background, and the tag sits below it at an angle. No vessel shape is clearly visible.
