Here's a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of ancient pottery, likely from a vessel like a jar or amphora. It's made of a reddish-brown terracotta. The fragment is decorated with alternating horizontal bands of black and the terracotta color. Thin stripes of red are set between the black and terracotta areas. The surface of the fragment is worn, with some chipping and discoloration that obscures the original pattern. The edges are broken and irregular, indicating that it is indeed a fragment. The decoration suggests it could be from a style common in ancient Mediterranean pottery.
