- Description
- Probably late in MC. Two fragments from the wall near the handle, joined. The head of a goose (or swan) on the left but facing right, next to the haunch and tail of a feline. The eye of the goose (or swan) is composed of two concentric circles. Large incised arcs mark the division of the feline's haunch. The incision is careless and thick. There is added red between the incisions on the haunch of the feline. Glaze: partially vanished, otherwise dark brown to black and unevenly applied. Clay: hard and fairly smooth. Yellow-buff. Munsell no. 10 YR 8/4 (very pale brown).
