Description

Six jugs and jars stand in a row on thin metal stands, with two bowls at the right end and a small ring-shaped object in front. The vessels are pale, worn and mottled with dark patches, and several have loop handles and narrow necks. A handwritten place label is pinned on the dark backdrop at upper left, and a small round number label sits at upper right.
