Description

This fragmentary cup is in the shape of a bell, or an inverted convex cone. The bottom is small and slightly concave. The rim tapers to a round point. It may have been made by hand. The paste is light brown and medium to fine. The surface is yellowish brown with a "wash" and is smooth. It has dark brown, slightly purplish decorated in the form of three trees. The trees are triangles made of 6 to 8 dashes below the rim with vertical stems extending to the base. The lipline is also painted.
