Description

Three pottery jugs stand side by side on a slatted wooden rack, each with a rounded body, a single loop handle and a narrow neck. The central jug is the largest, with a flared rim and a small lug near the shoulder. Their surfaces are pale with dark mottled patches and worn areas, and a handwritten label reading Lapithos and a small round number tag sit above them, with a measuring scale to the right.
