20.41(continued).Hand-made. Depression at the join of the handle on the neck barely perceptible and very well smoothed, as all the rest of the vessel. Neck scraped vertically. Slip very thin, carefully applied with a brush, horizontally (and along the ridges) over the whole exterior of the vessel and the interior of the rim. Worn on the handle. Red to brownish red, finely burnished. Shape incomplete: the base is missing. As for the rest, similar to 20.37, to which it resembles also in the appearance of the slip and the fired clay. The axis of the vessel seems to have been tilted backwards. Handle [illegible] fairly thick, with a rectangular section with long convex sides. Decoration as 20.38, but ridges not very pronounced

Restored. Very incomplete.
