Description

A larger round-bodied jug with a wide neck, a strap handle and a horizontal groove around the shoulder stands on the left, with a visible crack in its lower body. To the right is a smaller pear-shaped juglet with a narrow neck, a handle and a darker band near its base. Both vessels have plain, matt surfaces and stand on a pale surface against a light grey backdrop.
