- Description
- Fragment of a thick-walled Black on Red closed vase. Crosshatched meander pattern that shows an apparent pre-firing erasure of errant paint. Red surface polished, and paint added over it. Interior plain. Interior of body fully reduced to dark gray. The sherd with its Black on Red meander decoration is anomalous at this low, early level. The fieldbook specifically notes its discovery here; it may nevertheless be intrusive.
