Here is a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of pottery, possibly from an ancient vase or bowl. The fragment is roughly triangular in shape with irregular, jagged edges, suggesting it broke off from a larger piece. The base material appears to be a reddish-brown terracotta.

Most of the fragment's surface is covered in a dark, slightly glossy black glaze. There are small patches where the glaze has worn away, revealing the terracotta underneath. These patches are scattered across the surface and around the edges, giving the fragment a weathered and aged appearance. The black glaze also has subtle textures, indicating brush strokes or the method of application.

The fragment is resting on a plain, off-white background, which provides a stark contrast and highlights the texture and color of the pottery piece. The lighting is even, casting minimal shadows and allowing for a clear view of the fragment's details.

Here's a description of the image:

The image features a triangular shard of ancient pottery, likely a fragment from a larger vessel. The pottery has a distinct color palette. The primary visual element is the dark, almost black, glossy surface covering most of the shard. This dark surface is speckled with small, lighter-colored spots and patches, suggesting a degree of wear and age. The edges of the shard are a light brown or terracotta color, providing a contrast to the dark inner surface. The color separation is fairly distinct, indicating the potential presence of a glaze or a specific firing process. The shard is resting on a plain, light-colored background that provides a clean backdrop to highlight the artifact. The overall impression is that of a historical object, well-preserved considering its age.
