Description

A long row of about twenty pottery vessels stands side by side on a pale surface against a plain grey background. They range from small jugs and juglets at the ends to larger round-bodied and tall-necked jugs, some pale and some dark-surfaced, with one tall vessel held upright on a wire stand near the middle. Several have strap handles, and one smaller jug has dark banded decoration.
