About this work

This broken piece of pottery shows a faded design of two people riding in a boat. The figures are simple, with one holding what looks like a long pole. The background has tall, straight shapes that might be reeds or plants. The colors are mostly brown and cream, worn and chipped in spots. The boat scene is framed by a decorative border with swirls and lines. The edges of the pottery are rough, showing it’s been damaged over time. This kind of object was likely used in daily life, not just as art. Look up Museum of Ethnography to see more objects like this one.
