Description

A large rounded pottery vessel with a short flat rim stands on a pale plinth against a grey backdrop. Its body is broken and mended, with pale lines marking the joins and some areas missing. Dark painted bands and a vertical panel of hatched, leaf-like motifs decorate the surface, and handwritten notes run along the bottom edge of the print.
