Description

Four wooden shelves hold about thirty pottery vessels, mostly jugs, juglets and jars with handles, spouts and narrow necks. Many are decorated with dark painted bands, lattice, zigzag and diamond patterns on a light surface. The vessels stand in rows against a dark background, and some have small legs or pegs at the base.
