Here's a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of what appears to be an old ceramic piece or pottery shard. It is against a stark white background, which emphasizes the details and colors of the artifact. The shard is composed of two distinct layers. The top layer has a pale green/off-white base color with a dark blue/indigo pattern. This pattern radiates outwards in a spiky, almost sunburst-like design from a darker central area. The second layer, which supports the patterned layer, is a light brown or beige in color and seems to be of a coarser material, giving the artifact a more rugged and aged appearance. The edges of the shard are irregular and chipped, further suggesting it is a fragment of a larger object.

Here is a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of an artifact, possibly pottery or ceramic. It has a central area of a dark indigo blue color, likely a glaze, which fades outwards to a lighter blue. Radiating out from the dark center are dark blue strokes, creating a starburst or sunburst pattern. The outer edge of the fragment is a light green, possibly a base glaze or the material itself. The piece is attached to a rough, beige-colored substance, perhaps the original base material, or a surrounding piece. The background is plain white, accentuating the artifact. The artifact is likely a part of a larger piece, broken off with rough edges.
