Description

Exterior

fairly neatly squared and flattened

but corner angle rounded: on sides and edges are groups of angled scratches from shaping from mix of saw and abrasion; the face is a better worked version of same process. At a corner

and across it

is set a 1.5 cm wide zone of cuts and scratches

with nearby a vertical equivalent (0.5 cm wide) mostly sawn on. Interior

the rim (1.2 wide) is made much as the sides; the pouring cone (ovoid

not tapering — 1.5 × 1 at widest)
has its interior marked by vertical scratching. The sunken zone (by up to 7 mm) has neat enough sides worked by chisel and blade; into this then was cut another zone (barely 0.5 mm deep) in a vaguely arced form

given a double outline. At the edges of this are four minute holes (up to 2.5 mm deep).
