Description	Rectangular shaped piece with a smooth back and edges. On the front is a molded design with a thick rectangular base which flares out at the bottom. Halfway up the preserved portion, the rectangular section divides into two curving ridges, one right and one left, each ending in a round knob. Near the inside of each knob is a pendant which curves out and down, thickening towards the bottom. In the center at the divide is a triangular section which serves as the base for two ridges, one on either side (the right one is broken off close to the base), which curve up and in, ending in a knob. A vertical ridge rises from the center of this base which is rounded.
Fabric Description	Bucchero fired black on outside and brown on inside.
