Description

Six joining pieces

widely dispersed in the big pit. Only the handle and the back are preserved; some pieces burnt

others unburnt. Hand-made: unglazed inside

except for occasional splashes. The front seems to have taken the form of a standing human figure

probably a draped female. The handle is triangular in section. On the back

an elaborate system of palmettes and tendrils

painted on an added layer of clay.
