Early in EC. Small fragment, perhaps from the wall of a small alabastron. Sphinx or griffin to right facing the curve of a snake's body. Only the lower portion of the sphinx's leg and a single curve of the snake's body are preserved. The leg has three parallel incisions and traces of added red in the upper part. The snake's body is incised with small flecks, perhaps representing scales. Glaze: completely worn away. Clay: hard and fine. Pale yellow-buff. Munsell no. 10 YR 7/3 (very pale brown).

The piece is small and in poor condition, but the design suggests a familiar type: curving snake between confronted sphinxes. The fragment is intrusive, as its badly worn condition suggests.
