There is also a handle protruding from the outside edge at the top of the artefact, which is square in plan and irregularly sub-triangular in side section. Additionally, there is a pierced circular hole (diameter of hole: 7.5mm) in the centre of the handle that may have been used for suspension, possibly from a belt or hanging from a wall. The inside of the vessel is covered/ sealed with a light brown glaze, some of which appears around the outside rim of the vessel and a small amount down the outside edge where the glaze would have probably run during the firing process. The coarse hard-fired fabric of the vessel is light orange/ beige in colour and appears to have numerous small grit inclusions. Overall, the beaker is in a slightly worn but good condition.
