A cast copper alloy unidentified object of modern date. The object is crescent shaped in section and is decorated with a screw thread-like design, though this is too irregular to have been functional.

37 sherds of a handmade ceramic vessel of modern date. The sherds are from a hematite burnished ware vessel with an oxidized fabric.

Many of the sherds can be fitted together giving an estimated diameter of 14cm suggesting the vessel was a small and shallow bowl or dish. Hematite was extensively used in antiquity to colour the surface of pottery. Most frequently, the pulverized pigment was applied to the surface of a leather-hard …
