Description
Double horizontally compressed ovoid form greyware bottle with a single spout. The compressed ovoid shape gives the appearance of two lobes with a channel between running the circumference of the body, from the base of the spout on one side to the other. Around the base of the short cylindrical spout there is an incised double ring, the inner section is painted red. Extending out from the ring on either side is a small pendant panel of incised linear geometric design depicting the "Eye of God" motif. There is red paint and traces of a cream-coloured residue on sections of the decoration. The bottle has been completely broken and reconstructed with areas of in-fill.
