The shard by Leroy. A broken piece of pottery with a reddish-orange color. The piece appears to be a semi-circular shape with one straight edge. A horizontal black line borders the top of the design, then a stylized curved line borders underneath, then another horizontal line. Two horizontal curved lines are present below the design. The background is a light gray color. A shadow is cast on the surface underneath and to the right of the shard.
