Abstract

Two globular ceramic vessels, with wide mouths and a simple, thickened rim, are placed on the ground after being modelled. The vessel in the foreground features an incised decorative band composed of continuous zigzag and parallel lines, located just below the rim. The body of the vessel displays a surface texture produced by shell raking, characterised by regular diagonal impressions with a rough appearance. On the underside, the surface reveals an accumulation of clay resulting from the action of dragging the clay mass with a finger to secure the clay coil
