- Description
- The rim projects both outward and inward. Vertical attached (nonfunctional) handle has a flat projection at the top. The scar of the other side of the handle, which looped downwards, is preserved at the left of the fragment. Painted decoration on the inside of the handle has a pinkish slip square that was originally presumably white. A double line surrounds this square, which is painted with delicate lines: diagonal crosshatching within a triangle. Red slip on exterior, ledge rim, and a band at top of interior.
