Description (Physical description)
A double vessel, appearing like two globular vessels attached at body and rim. There is incised linear decoration around the body of both, and a small pattern on the join between the rims. The base of both of the vessels is rounded, the neck narrow and the rim everted. Where the vessels are joined on the body, there is a hole allowing liquid to pass from one to another. One of the vessels has a small circular protrusion, while the other originally had a handle. The rim of one vessel is almost completely destroyed and missing, and the other is also damaged. The handle has broken off, part of it is bagged and stored with the object.
