ECA-V-073

This single sherd appears to be a fragment of a cylinder stand, as indicated by the pronounced angular ridge running horizontally, characteristic of cylinder stands. It is noteworthy that the ridge was formed by the juncture of two clay slabs pinched together, evident on the interior. The decoration is quite complex, with motif PK291, a curvilinear design only incompletely represented on this sherd, above the horizontal ridge. The upper surface of the ridge carries zone marker RZ4D-3-2 followed by motif M19-1-3, downward pointing stamped triangles. The underside of the ridge has motif GS624, sets of stamped bars, and below this is motif PK302, consisting of diamond-shaped cutouts with dentate-stamped lines and stamped circles in the intervening spaces. All of the stamping and cutouts have been filled in with lime.
