What the record shows
Aksumite jars in the Archaeological Museum at Aksum. Held by the Archaeological Museum, Aksum. The photographer's note on the Wikimedia Commons file page begins: “In the collection of the Archaeological Museum in Axum, Ethiopia. To my eye, the geometric incised decorations evoke the cordage that would have been used to secure and hang vessels made from dried gourds, which were probably this ceramic vessel's precursors.” Photographed by A. Davey from Where I Live Now: Pacific Northwest.
