Comments

This pedestal base probably had quite an elaborate decoration, but only a small fragment of the main motif remains, coded as TFG1308, involving lime in-filled cutouts and thick curvilinear zone marking. Motif A497, a series of nested semi-circles, is followed by the base motif PK281, a variant of the long-beaked bird motif. It is likely that this pedestal base supported one of the elaborate IB type bowls also exhibiting the long-beaked bird motif on its rim lip.
