Description

Three large pottery vessels stand on a wooden plinth and on metal legs against pale walls and dark pillars. The left vessel is a smaller bowl with wavy and zigzag bands; the centre one is a round-bodied jar with a spout at its upper left and dark painted bands; the right one is a tall vessel with a narrow neck and a rounded body. Mended cracks run across all three surfaces, and part of another vessel shows at the far right.
