Description

Three shelves hold more than twenty pottery vessels, mostly jugs and juglets with single or double handles and narrow necks. Their surfaces carry painted geometric patterns of bands, zigzags, hatching and lattice. Several vessels stand on thin metal supports, and the group is arranged against a dark draped backdrop.
