A Medieval pottery fragment, the anthropomorphic figure from a Coarse Border ware lobed cup (14th century AD). The find consists of the torso, head, shoulders and arms of an anthropomorphic figure of indeterminate sex.

At the base of the reverse of the head, there is an impression made by a forefinger. Of the faci…
