Description

Three wooden shelves hold about twenty pottery jugs and juglets, most with a single loop handle, tall necks and vertical ribbing on the bodies. The top shelf has five similar vessels, the middle shelf several with spouts or pinched necks, and the bottom shelf larger, rounder jars. The pale surfaces show flaking and darker patches, and a handwritten label is pinned above the top shelf.
