Context (Display)
Displayed as part of the Spotlight on Stores Move exhibition. Caption provided by Stores Move Team: 'Get my good side. Most of the Early Medieval pottery here has been in storage longer than any of us have been alive. From our first day at work, vessels like this taught us about the museum people and practices that went before us. Finally getting them ready for their close-ups was a great feeling.'
