- Description
- Late in LPC or early in TR. Small wall fragment. Scale pattern over half of the fragment, with the remainder reserved. Two registers of scales are preserved, all with narrow borders created by two parallel incisions. The scales are fairly carefully executed. Elongated diamonds or darts appear between each scale in the last row. One compass point is preserved. Glaze: almost entirely vanished. Clay: fine, fairly smooth, and slightly powdery. Creamy beige. Munsell no. 10 YR 7/3 (very pale brown).
