Description

About twenty pottery vessels, mostly jugs and juglets with handles and a few two-handled jars, are arranged in three rows on wooden shelves against a plain pale background. Most stand on thin wire supports, and several have painted or incised bands and linear decoration on their bodies. The surfaces are worn and pale in places, with some chips and cracks visible.
