Catalogue text
A small field of continuous design, as in Cat. no. 80 [EA1990.88], with eight-petalled rosettes, single dots, and lobed squares arranged as a regular pattern. Fragmentary band design, possibly border, of an unbroken line, a line of dots, two unbroken lines, and the remains of a dotted vine and leaves, as can be seen in more complete examples, for example in Cat. no. 103 [EA1990.111].
