Double Spout Bottle2990/50

Double spout compressed ovoid grey brownware bottle with incised decoration. The double spouts extend vertically from the top, centred on the body. One spout is open at the top, the other comes to a point at the top to form what appears to be a bird's head with a circular eye on either side, with remnants of red paint. There is a flat strap handle connecting the spouts at mid-height. There is a small hole on the bird-shaped spout, just above where the strap handle attaches. A double incised line divides the body down the centre, and the front half is incised with a panel of two fox figures, a band of step-meander motif below, and diamonds & crosses above. There are seven crosses on the rear half of the body. The bottle has been completely broken and reconstructed, and there is a 5.5 cm by 3.5 cm piece missing at the back near the base below the open spout, as well as some smaller pieces missing. There are some small areas of in-fill.
