Decoration
On the inside, remains of three or four horizontal wavy lines that ends against an oblique line on the left, and possibly also on the right, which seems to create a shape that tapers toward the rim. A small downturned chevron is scantily visible on the right extremity of the sherd, and there may be an oblique line between this chevron and the tapering shape.
On the outside, little is left of the paint, but there may be series of small curved elements.
