    DescriptionSmall, round, high sided cup with two flat handles attached to the rim. The sides are slightly concave. It is light grey-brown colour with horizontal lines around the outside of the body in various colours. On one side there is a calcerific deposit which also exists on the inside to a lesser extent. This appears to suggest that the vessel was left on its side in a limestone cave or tomb and water dripped into it over a period of time.
