Condition The fragment is broken on two sides, preserving portions of both finished sides. The stamped surface is slightly pitted and worn, and displays one large chip from the surface which partially obliterates two of the stamped designs. The surface is scratched heavily on the side that is not stamped.
Description The fragment is generally trapezoidal, with 0.024 m of one side edge preserved but only 0.009 m of the other. The fragment preserves two distinct decorative patterns, both of which decorate the same face. The upper, narrow portion of the handle displays portions of three parallel registers of stippled dots. The second pattern consists of a register of hatched lozenges which occupies the wider edge of the fragment. One complete and two partial stamped lozenges are visible.
