A very light colored KA beaker or pot, perhaps bleached by the sun as it is a surface collected piece, with a single register of impressed decorations on the neck. The bleached exterior makes it impossible to say whether the vessel exterior was originally polished, but since the interior is so nicely polished it is likely. The fragment is 20% covered in lichen, especially on the breaks. The decoration schema consists of a single wide-zigzag register which forms a set of interlocking triangles. The superior triangles point inferiorly and the inferior triangles superiorly. All the triangles are filled with vertical lines or oblique hatches. Most of the 0.2cm wide ziagzag is filled with point decorations. The pinch handle interrupts the register, but at the extreme right of the fragment, after the handle, the register appears to start up again. The register is bounded tightly inferiorly and superiorly by narrow furrows. Not enough rim preserved to estimate the rim diameter very accurately--the 15cm diameter above is very much a guess. The internal body is slightly lighter in color than the the internal rim, neck, and shoulder. Handle is a tiny pinchable nubbin. Coarse and fine sand also present in the fabric. Breaks are smooth. Minor amounts of brown corrosion are visible on the exterior surface.
