The sherd is unglazed and decorated on the exterior edge with a series of deeply incised slash marks arranged in two vertical opposing rows. The handle is relatively large with no abraded edges, suggesting it has come from an undisturbed archaeological context. The fabric is a hard earthen ware which is mica rich, having abundant angular and sub-angular white quartz, grog and grit-like inclusions. There is also a powdery white inclusion which may be decayed limestone. The fabric is a dark grey colour with an orange oxidised interior and exterior surface.The sherd measures 75.5mm length, 47.4mm width is 16.9mm thick and weighs 51.44 grams.
