Early Bronze Age pottery miniature vessel

Oxidised orange brown fabric with well smoothed surface. The vessel has a globular form with inverted simple rim form and a deeply hollowed base forming a foot-ring. The decoration comprises a zone of three parallel horizontal furrows, one just below the rim, the second immediately above the base three zones of decoration (the two outer comprising vertical parallel linear furrows and the middle a triple chevron incised pattern) are separated by two borders (each of two horizontal and parallel furrows). Two perforations were pierced through the vessel wall (within the chevron zone) after the vessel was fired about 90 degrees apart from each other.
