Comments

This pedestal base most likely supported a bowl or flat-bottomed dish, although it could alternatively have been the base of a cylinder stand. The base rim consists of motif PK123, the “double long-beaked bird motif,” with the dentate stamped stylized birds highlighted by lime-filled carved areas. Above a zone marker (RZ4D-3-1) is a complex motif only partly remaining on this fragment (TFG1839). This is a curvilinear motif made up of both dentate-stamped elements and carved, lime-filled grooves.
