Comments

This is the carinated portion of a large carinated jar, with the decoration above the carination. What is visible of the design begins with zone marker RZ4D-5-2, below which is motif PK61, a variant of the zigzag motif family. Below this is motif PK374. All of the dentate stamping is finely executed, and the stamps are packed closely together, evidencing considerable artistic skill.
