Description

Two rows of pottery vessels stand side by side against a pale cloth backdrop. The upper row shows larger two-handled jars, one broken and one with a patterned neck, while the lower row includes smaller jugs, a juglet with a looped handle and jars with bands of dark painted decoration. Most surfaces are plain with horizontal dark bands, and several vessels show cracks or chips.
