Description

Some twenty painted vessels stand on three wooden shelves against a dark cloth backdrop. The top row has jugs with tall necks and loop handles, the middle row small juglets, and the bottom row larger rounded jars with handles. Their surfaces carry bands, zigzags, hatching and panels of geometric motifs, and several stand on thin metal supports.
