The image shows an ancient earthenware pot with a round base, slightly constricted neck, and an out-turned rim. The body of the pot is decorated with painted geometric patterns, primarily featuring white angular lines forming diamond shapes on a reddish-brown background. The neck of the pot appears to be worn and displays a more faded pattern while the base color seems more consistent.
