Description

Four vessels stand in a row on a pale surface against a plain grey backdrop. From left: a tall vessel with a narrow neck and a small side lug; an egg-shaped vessel with a small loop lug near the top; a vessel with jagged, broken upper edges; and a smaller vessel with a rounded top and pale banding. Cracks and losses are visible on several, and a number label appears in the lower right corner.
