Here's a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of pottery, likely from an ancient Greek vase or similar vessel. The fragment is primarily terracotta in color. It features a design painted in black, which includes the silhouette of a human face in profile. The face appears to have an eye drawn with simple lines, suggesting a stylistic representation rather than a realistic portrait. There are also patches of white paint that add to the overall decoration. The edges of the fragment are chipped and rough, indicating its age and that it is a piece broken from a larger object.

Here is a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of an ancient Greek ceramic vessel, likely a kylix (drinking cup). The sherd is predominantly composed of a light terracotta-colored clay, typical of Greek pottery. The primary decorative elements are in black paint and create a silhouette of a human face. The black paint is applied to the top half of the fragment, covering the majority of the surface. The head and hair are depicted in black. Parts of the face, including the profile, an eye, and possibly the chin are outlined in black. The bottom half of the face is missing, leaving the terracotta background visible. Along the edges, there are areas where the paint has worn away, and the terracotta is exposed. There are also patches of white, possibly remnants of another type of paint. The texture of the black paint appears slightly granular. The edges are jagged, indicating that this is a broken piece of a larger object.
