Legend
This pot lid shows a woman seated in front of three stones in her home on which not a single cooking pot has been placed. This scene recalls the following saying: "In the morning, I stretch my legs as there is nothing to cook." This statement is possibly aimed at a lazy husband who has not given his wife anything to put in the cooking pot.
