Comments

This is the carinated portion of a large, very well fired, thin-walled jar exhibiting considerable technical skill in its manufacture. The incised decoration, which is confined to the area above the carination, has been very carefully executed. There is a fragment of an upper motif (TFG2494) involving semicircles. Below a horizontal line the motif (PK489) running just above the carination consists of square spaces with an “X”.
