Description

A large, egg-shaped vessel with many cracks and visible joins between reconstructed sherds stands on a sandy floor, held by thin wooden supports. Raised ridges run in horizontal bands and curved arcs around the shoulder and body, and a small metal hook is fixed at the top. A man in a dark coat stands at the left behind the vessel, looking towards the camera, and an empty room with a wooden crate is visible at the right.
