- Description
Fragment. Exterior: concave lip is glazed; reserved band of the handle zone has palmettes between schematized lotus buds. The palmette fronds alternate black and added purple. Around the heart of the palmette is a double-incised line. Its center frond intrudes into the lip. Interior: glazed, with narrow reserved band near the rim.
The pattern still has color and incision, which are early features, but the lotus bud no longer has sepals and is thus not the earliest of its type. See Att 92, with which it may form a pair.
