Clear delaminating layers in this sherd suggest a typical handmade, slab-built EB technology. The interior features impressed lines, likely the marks of basket of textile impressions. The exterior features an ambossed desgin, possibly a classic Kura-Araxes bird figure. Slight white corrosion is evident on the polished exterior, covering approximately 15% of the surface. Desginated as MAE 616.
