Description

Three shelves display pottery vessels, each set on a thin wire stand against a pale backdrop. The top shelf holds a row of small bowls and cups with handles and spouts, some with banded decoration. The middle shelf has round-bodied jugs and juglets with necks and handles, decorated with linear, hatched and banded patterns, while the bottom shelf holds larger, darker vessels with short necks and handles.
