Description

A dark, polished vessel with a rounded body and a small knob-like projection on the right side, shown on a plain grey backdrop. Its surface is decorated with incised or white-filled lines: rows of hatched triangles form a large X-like pattern in the centre, with curved bands of parallel lines above and below. Patches of surface wear and lighter flaking are visible on the right side.
