Description

An irregular pottery sherd lies on a plain grey card. Its left part is pale and its right part is dark, with a diagonal change between the two, and the broken edges show along the lower and right sides. Small pits and specks are visible on the pale area, and the decoration cannot be made out clearly in this photograph.
