Comments

This very slightly everted rim appears to come from a large jar with restricted orifice. The lip is undecorated. On the exterior, the decoration begins with zone marker RZ4D-3R-2, below which the main motif (PK86) consists of an appliqué “appliqué “starfish” with five arms or spokes, surrounded by zone marking and stamped circles. Whether this is truly a zoomorphic design is uncertain, but it is difficult to imagine what else may be represented.
