Here's a description of the image:

The image features a fragment of ancient pottery, likely terracotta, against a plain background. The fragment is generally triangular in shape, tapering to a narrower point on the right.

The pottery itself is a reddish-brown color, with a section covered in a dense, irregular pattern of black specks or daubs over a black background. On the upper surface of the pottery, white lettering (appears to be an inventory number) is painted. The edges of the pottery are rough and broken, indicating it is part of a larger piece.

Here's a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of an ancient pottery shard. The shard has a rough, textured surface in a natural terracotta color. A large portion of the shard is covered in a thick, black paint, which has eroded in places, revealing the terracotta underneath as lighter spots and streaks. The black paint appears somewhat matte and aged.

Along the top edge of the shard, there's a strip of the terracotta color, with white lettering painted onto it. The lettering includes what appears to be a catalog number or identification mark: "ZIC-2123.1188." The overall shape of the shard is irregular, elongated, and slightly curved. It seems to be a broken piece, likely from a larger vessel. The background is plain and light-colored, providing a clean backdrop for the object.
