Description

A broken vessel is shown on a pale background, with an intact rim at the top and a large break running down its body. Below a band of repeated looped pattern, a head in profile wears a close-fitting headdress, and a column of dots runs down the right side. The break edges are pale and chipped, and the dark surface shows some flaking.
