Comments

This is an example of a rare “double rim” in which there is a vertical rim and a second horizontal rim extending out some 2 cm from the vessel wall, about 1.1 cm below the lip of the vertical rim. The lip of the vertical rim has zone marker RZ4D-4-2, and below this motif A417, stamped circles. The horizontal rim has zone marker RZ4D-4R-2, and then motif M19-4-2. On the exterior below the horizontal rim, the decoration begins with motif A1, followed by zone marker RZ4D-4R-2, then motif M77-2-3, followed by two bands of zone marker RZ4D-4R-2. Below this the main motif is PK521, a variant of the zigzag design family.
