Size max. pres. length: 0.03189m; max. pres. width: 0.02947m; max. pres. height: 0.01133m
Condition Fragment preserved one impressed face, a roughly parallel unfinished face, and all edges are broken. Fragment is encrusted and somewhat worn.
Description A fragment of plaster preserving twelve full and partial width impressions on one face. The face is slightly convex on two different planes of the finished face. Where the two planes meet along one break edge is a point from which the impressions somewhat radiate out at very acute angles to make the impressions not quite parallel. On the opposite break edge the impressions are correspondingly more widely spaced apart than the edge from which they somewhat radiate. The impressions are approximately 0.00157m wide and separated from each other by approximately 0.00140m wide raised portions created by the indentations of the impressions on either side. What created the impressions is not obvious; they are much smaller than usual reed impressions seen on plaster. It is possible they represent a tight weave of a fabric or basket which was placed on the plaster before it was dried. The opposite face is amorphous and unfinished. All edges are broken.
