Description
Fragment of wall. Exterior: reserved band. Interior: edge of the tondo reserved, with three concentric circles and a trace of a tongue pattern within. The thinness of the wall, 0.001 m. at the tondo, makes this an outstanding example of potting. The painting is also of fine quality. This fragment could be from a Little Master band cup.
