Brown on buff rim sherd of cup with S-profile (Probably a spouted cup with side handles). Interior red monochrome slip. A thick band of band around the shoulder, with a zigzag below it.

Since there is one diagonal line on the far left of the sherd, there were probably more // diagonal lines leaning to the left from the band at the shoulder to the lip.
