- Description
- A small wall fragment. A large incised rosette next to the hind leg of a hoofed animal, probably a goat. Both the shape and the incision of the rosette are nicely done, although the lines do not quite mark the divisions of the petal. A single incision remains in the leg of the animal. Two well-drawn incisions mark the juncture of the hoof. Glaze: dark brown and shiny. Clay: fine and hard. Munsell no. 10 YR 7/4 (very pale brown).
