Description

Three wooden shelves hold about thirty pottery jugs and juglets in rows, most with one or two loop handles, and several stand on small wire stands. Most are plain and grey-brown, while a few on the upper shelf show painted bands, wavy lines and zigzag patterns. The vessels vary in height, neck and body shape, set against a plain pale wall.
