Remarks

A shoulder fragment from a small LB vessel. The decorative schema consists of a circumferential register of isosceles triangles stamped/impressed into the vessel wall, short side inferior. At the base of the triangles is a circumferential raised line or belt. This was perhaps created by the stamping process, which does not seem to have been very consistently achieved around the vessel. It meanders are bit. While pieces of four triangles are present on the vessel, only one is completely present on the sherd. High frequency circumferential rotational striations are visible on both surfaces. 75% coverage by light yellowish brown corrosion on the exterior makes the polishing marks difficult to see, but the polish is very well preserved. Yellow and white corrosion cover 15% of the internal surface. There is some fabric delamination evident in the breaks, splitting the vessel wall into two halves. Besides the fine sand, medium and coarse sand are also present. Breaks are rough.
