Small vessels stand on a shelf across the top, several with handles or spouts. Below, three large jars rest on metal stands: the left has a tall neck, one loop handle and raised bands on its shoulder, the centre has two handles and a short neck, and the right has a spout and a loop handle. Their surfaces are worn and mottled against a dark cloth backdrop.
