Remarks

Core band color should be Red 2.5 YR 4/8. A nice red LB shoulder fragment from a smaller vessel with compact and well sorted fabric. The upper linear decoration consists of 3 visible incised parallel rows, probably done with a comb. There are likely more rows, but only 3 are preserved here. Below them sits a furrow, approximately 1.1cm wide. The polish is preserved over most of the exterior, except in the incisions where it perhaps never existed, or was removed during decoration. There is an unusual cracking pattern between the two decoration registers where a lot of slip/polish has flaked off. Pale yellow and black corrosion cover 205 of the exterior surface and almost all of the interior surface. Rotational striations are visible on the exterior surface only. Breaks are smooth.
