Wall fragment from return with start of neck. Glaze fired red on inside of neck. Pitted on outside. Max. dim. 0.066.
Uncertain subject. What remains is the top of a scepter crowned by a finial in the shape of a lotus flower, and at the lower break there is a form that looks like the thumb of a right hand, but it is not, because there are no fingers below it. At the right is a tree with branches and fruit (fruit in added clay). Between the trunk of the tree and the shaft of the scepter, at the break, there is a bit of relief contour, but it is not clear what it represents. Relief contour. White: fruit.
