Description

A row of small vessels stands along a dark shelf against a pale wall. From left to right are a small jug, a two-handled jar, a squat vessel, a tall two-handled jar on a foot, a vase holding sprigs of flowers, a small spouted jug and two stemmed bowls, with another bowl partly cut off at the edge. Above them, a rectangular relief plaque shows a figure, and two dark cylindrical objects with long thin rods project from the wall, casting shadows.

Description, scan 2
A row of about eight vessels stands on a shelf against a bright wall, lit strongly from one side so their shadows fall across the plaster. From left to right are small jugs and handled cups, a vessel with side lugs, a tall two-handled vessel on a foot, and a footed vase holding dried sprigs of plant. A rectangular plaque with a carved figure in relief hangs above, and two dark round objects with long hooked stems hang on the wall.
