Description

About twenty pottery vessels are arranged on three tiers against a dark backdrop. The top two shelves hold small jugs, many with handles and some shaped like animals, with painted geometric bands and patterns on several taller ones. Five larger jars with patterned and plain surfaces stand on metal stands along the bottom shelf.
