Description

Six vessels stand in a loose row on a dark surface: two-handled jars with banded painted decoration, a tall jar with a geometric panel on its neck, and a tall two-handled jug with a pointed base at the right. The jars vary in height, with some lids or rims cut away at the top. The photograph is mounted on a card with handwritten and printed notes around its border.
