Description
Small handmade and virtually complete carinated cup. The upper half is concave and the slightly narrower neck and rounded lip can be observed. It has two horizontal lugs, one on the outside of the lip and the other at the beginning of the shoulder. The bottom half is slightly convex and the base is flat. The two parts are joined by a pronounced carination. The fabric is black, refined, compact and homogenous, with fine quartz and mica inclusions. The internal and external surfaces are grey and smoothed. It was documented as part of the deposit in the Cave of the Auditorium.
