Archer Pottery Sherd is an archaeological item obtained by brushing suspicious sand at desert wells or suspicious sand and gravel at trail ruins. Its face carries a stamped silhouette of a figure drawing a bow, a recurring motif found on ancient decorated pots scattered across the Minecraft overworld. Brushing a suspicious block with a brush extracts the sherd and destroys the block. Combining four pottery sherds of any mix of patterns in a 2×2 crafting recipe produces a decorated pot, with each of the four side faces displaying one of the applied sherds. An archer, hunter, or warrior theme is a natural fit for this motif. Trail ruins contain multiple suspicious blocks in a single site, allowing several sherds to be collected in one excavation, while desert wells each hold a single central suspicious block in open desert terrain. Sherds from the same site can be different patterns, so each excavation is a small discovery. As a purely decorative item, the sherd's value lies entirely in the visual story the assembled pot tells.
