Small conical cup. Very solid base is distinctive. Low ring foot extends right from edge of base, providing a flat resting surface; it is demarcated from underside by convex offset. Circular stamp divided into four sections by irregular cross at center of interior floor.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Fine light-red fabric with frequent glistening micaceous bits visible in direct sunlight. Semimatte slip is thick and darker.

One sherd preserves entire base and much of lower wall to turn to rim. Slight, sparse scratching and chipping around edges; thick slip is generally well preserved.
