The top of the handle was likely teardrop shaped, which can be inferred from the teardrop decoration, created by grooves with a dot infill. There is then a pair of incised lines at the point of the teardrop, where the handle extends to its widest point, before tapering until the point where it has been been broken. An etched circle, also with dot infill (larger than that of the teardrop), rests centrally on the edge of the incised lines, with ring and dot decoration in the centre. Two curved grooves extend to the edges of…
