Four fragments from a vessel, probably a water jar, of pale yellow alluvial clay, press-moulded on the exterior with fish scale motifs from two moulds, joined or luted together at the middle with a raised rib. The upper section including a flaring neck terminates with a broad smooth band above a raised rib. There are traces of bitumen from an earlier repair.
