Here's a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of what appears to be an earthenware ceramic piece. The fragment is mostly reddish-orange in color with some darker, weathered patches along the edges. There is a band near the top edge, indicating the object it was part of had a distinct rim or edge.

Inscribed on the orange surface are words written in a dark color (possibly brown or black). The inscription appears to read "Monte Saluzzo, Chat. 1696 Italy". The handwriting is cursive and somewhat faded.

The overall impression is of an artifact, possibly a piece of pottery or tile, with historical significance due to the inscribed place and date.

Here's a description of the image:

The image showcases a fragment of what appears to be an old, broken ceramic piece. The dominant color is a reddish-orange, and the surface has a worn, textured appearance. Handwritten inscriptions in a dark pigment are visible on the central area of the piece. These inscriptions are somewhat faded and difficult to read completely, but the words “Mont,” “chate,” “Sauvy,” and the number “75,” along with the word “Italy,” are discernable. The edges of the fragment are rough and irregular, revealing a lighter-colored, potentially clay-like material beneath the surface. The overall impression suggests an archaeological artifact or a historical fragment. The piece is set against a plain, light background.
