The image shows a fragment of ancient pottery. The fragment appears to be a section from the side of a vessel, possibly a vase or jug, tapering outwards towards what would have been the base. The exterior of the pottery is a light tan or beige color and features dark brown or black painted decoration. There's a broad horizontal band at the bottom, and a curved vertical stripe on the side. The fragment is weathered and textured, showing signs of age and possible wear. The edges are broken, indicating it is part of a larger, now incomplete, object. The fragment is set against a plain white background.

Here's a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of a pottery vessel, likely an ancient artifact. The piece is a light tan color, possibly the original clay color. It has a somewhat cylindrical shape, wider at the base and tapering upwards to a broken edge.

The fragment is decorated with dark brown to black painted bands. One band follows the rim and another, larger one, curves down the side of the pot. The paint appears to have degraded somewhat, with some areas showing fading or discoloration. The surface of the pottery appears textured and weathered, with small imperfections and a slightly rough feel. The background is a plain, light-colored surface, likely white or off-white, which helps to isolate the object and highlight its features.
