Here's a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of ancient pottery. The sherd is primarily a terracotta color, with areas covered in a dark, glossy black glaze. The fragment is roughly triangular, with jagged edges indicating it was broken from a larger piece.

The decorative elements consist of horizontal bands of the black glaze. Between some of the bands are linear elements or patterns in the terracotta color. One recognizable pattern is a series of "T" shapes formed by leaving the terracotta color exposed amidst the black glaze. The surface of the glaze shows some wear and imperfections, hinting at the piece's age.

Here's a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of an ancient pottery shard, likely a piece of a larger vessel. The shard is an irregular, triangular shape with a reddish-brown clay base visible on the edges and in areas where the painted decoration has flaked away. The majority of the surface is covered with a dark, glossy black paint.

Some design elements are present on the fragment. There are horizontal brown bands. There also appears to be a set of stylized figures with horizontal and vertical lines possibly stylized figures or abstract shapes. The overall look suggests an ancient artifact, possibly Greek or Roman, and indicates a ceramic vessel that was once decorated.
