Description:   The nine fragments, which mended up to five, have been restored with plaster to make something less than half the circumference of the pyxis. None of the bottom is preserved, but a small part of the rim, and considerable portions of the sides. Unglazed inside.
The rim, slightly concave on top to hold the lid, has a band of red glaze around the inner edge, and of black glaze around the outer edge. The wall is separated into four horizontal zones, by means of four groups of three bands of glaze. The zones, from top to bottom: zigzag, hatched maeander, diagonals, large zigzags(?).
Clay pinkish buff; glaze, black to light brown. The clay micaceous, with bits; light buff slip.
Context:   Turkish well. Loose green fill mixed with late black.
