Remarks

The decorative pattern on this sherd is unique. The top row element consists of two horizontal lines with a series of oblique hatches. Below this there are rows of lines with crosses bisecting these lines. The crosses are really lopsided crosses, such that for each "cross", of which there are 6, the left lines of the cross are longer than the right. There are white crustations on the interior and exterior of this sherd.
