Remarks

A very small sherd, likely from an LB vessel. The decorative schema consists of approximately 4 circumferential lines decoration, applied with a comb tool and placed 0.27cm apart. The most superior line is incised more than twice as deeply as the others. Polish is visible on almost the entire exterior, which is mottled with Dark Gray GY1 4/N and Reddish Brown 5YR 5/4. Besides the fine sand, moderate coarse sand particles are also present in the fabric. Overall, the fabric is relatively compact. Faint circumferential rotational striations are visible on both surfaces. Breaks are smooth.
