Description
A single fragment of a small globular closed vessel with a crosshatched meander above a narrow horizontal line and butterfly pattern beneath. Very similar to HoB 504. The meander is slightly smaller than the other one, and the profile has a slight bulge on the interior that is not present on the other. These two probably came as a pair.
Dimensions
H. 0.028, W. 0.024, Th. 0.0035.
