- Description
- Upper end of a red-slipped handle, with a band of white slip framed by thin black lines. Over the white slip, diagonal lines in both directions, making a crosshatched diamond in the center, with the exterior lines of the diamond continuing to the edge of the handle, thus stretching the design. Compare to HoB 548, another handle with similar design.
