Ceramic Fragment
A broken earthenware sherd with a green and ochre glaze, mottled and worn in patches, shown against a plain grey ground. Its jagged edges are visible, and the pale clay body shows at the rim where the glaze has flaked away.
Look closer: Pale clay body is exposed along the lower right edge where the glaze has flaked away.
