ADDENDA 2018: Eleven sherds mended into five non-joining sections of a large deep bowl with flaring rim and lower attachment from a horizontal handle.

Just above the base there is a medium band with two fine lines below it at the junction with the foot (not preserved). The handle zone has a running spiral filled with parallel chevrons, crowned by bird's head protomes. The handle was probably tri-splashed.
