Description

A grid of broken pottery sherds in three columns and five rows lies on a pale grey surface. Each fragment has dark painted decoration on a light ground, including diagonal hatching, checkerboard-like grids, dotted bands and parallel stripes. The edges are irregular and broken, and the pieces vary in shape from triangular to rounded.
