- Description
- Large fragment of a plate with a band of pendent semicircles at the rim. Standing and pendent concentric semicircles, with a black line between them, form what looks like a wave decoration. A crosshatched rectangle off the center was one arm of a central cross. The fragment had been burned enough to alter the color in some areas. The exterior is plain red. Similar to HoB 279.
