Description

Three shelves display many pottery vessels. The two upper shelves hold rows of small bowls, jugs and a few basket-handled and spouted pieces, decorated with dark geometric bands and patterns against a black backdrop. The bottom shelf holds five round-bodied jugs with handles on small metal stands, set against a white wall, with their surfaces flaking in places.
