Description: | Small amphora or cup, two handles, low foot. Decoration : red painted band at the point where the handles join the main body, lower red painted band at the bottom of the main body and above the ring base on the inside of the rim., A kanthaaros drinking vessel with two high vertical handles. This example has a circular rim decorated on the edge and in a band on the sloping toward the interior in brown with a couple of poorly executed thin lines beneath also in brown, all much faded. The interior of the vessel is unpainted. Extending from the rim, first upwards and outwards, then straight back towards the edge of the shoulder are two handles decorated with horizontal stripes. The shoulder is plain, although on one aside there is evidence odf something dripping down from the rim across the neck and body to the base. At the shoulder a thick band of red/brown appears to be mmade up of several thin lines of paint boarded on each side by a thin lighter more discrete line. 2/3rds of the way down the body, a further thick band of red/brown, possibly also made up of a number of thinner bands is used for decorattion, dropping down to the base which flares outwards. The bottom few millimeters of the body and the base are painted, although again, poor execution has resulted in some extending into the reserved area above. The base is reserved, with traces of black paint visible on the underside of the foot. Across the vessel are remnant areas of the burial matrix, from which it was originally recovered, notably on one of the handles.,
