Description

Two pottery vessels stand side by side on a pale surface, each with a wide open bowl on a low pedestal foot and two small side handles. The rims carry several fine horizontal bands, and the bodies have dark painted panels of vertical stripes, a zigzag or chequered band, and small concentric-circle motifs. The larger bowl on the right has the more complete decoration, and both show some surface wear.
