The image shows a fragment of an ancient Greek pottery sherd. The sherd is a piece of a broken ceramic vessel, likely a vase or bowl. The pottery has a dark, possibly black, painted surface that forms the decoration. On the black surface, a wavy line design, possibly representing a water pattern, is painted in a lighter, beige color. Dots and small round shapes are also incorporated into the design. The pottery itself is a light brown or terracotta color, showing the underlying clay. The edges of the sherd are irregular, confirming that it is a broken piece. The artifact is lying on a plain, white background.

Here is a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of an ancient pottery vessel. The sherd is roughly rectangular but with irregular, broken edges. The color of the clay is a reddish-brown. The fragment features black-glazed decoration, typical of ancient Greek pottery.

The decoration consists of two horizontal bands of black glaze, separated by a line of the reddish-brown clay. Between the upper band and the line is a decorative pattern composed of a wavy line with small, round shapes interspersed along its length. The black glaze has some imperfections, with small areas where the reddish-brown clay shows through. There are also some minor chips and scratches on the surface of the glaze, suggesting its age and wear. The sherd appears to be photographed against a plain, light-colored background.
