| Description | Body-sherd from a closed vessel. Fine, light brown (7.5YR 6/4) clay, covered on exterior with black paint with decoration in added white paint. Added white: wide bands and thin bands. East Cretan White-on-dark Ware, but the use of bands suggest the piece is late within the tradition.
