Early Bronze Age pottery miniature vessel
Bipartite cup, near complete, but with the tops of the rim missing. It has a straightsided deep internal bevel decorated with oblique stabbed lines that may originally have been filled with red clay? Externally, the neck is decorated with three panels, one of filled lozenges, one of opposed running chevrons and one of four nested chevrons, and boredered by three incised lines. The shoulder has a single perforation and is decorated below with recatngular panels, each divided into six triangles alternately filled with oblique incsied lines. The base is decorated with a motif highly reminiscent of Irish sun-discs - a lattice cross with central filled lozenge bordered by a band of short incised lines. All external decoration was originalyl filled with white bone inlay.
