Decoration
Remains of two lines can be seen next to one another near one edge of the sherd; there are tiny traces of a similar line near at the other extremity of the sherd. The preservation is too insufficient to allow the identification of the intended type of decoration. However, in the area that is, at first sight, empy are the possible ghost remains of three narrow, short lines, that are not be dissimilar to fingers or claws.
