- Description
- Black on Red omphalos. A black band follows the circumference of the boss. Within the circle are two diagonally crosshatched triangles that meet at their points. The remainder of the boss is red-slipped. Underside also red-slipped. This has clearly been cut down for reuse, perhaps as a stopper or a game piece.
