A terracotta and deep red ceramic vessel fragment features a curved surface decorated with geometric patterns. Stacked horizontal bands of small black triangles top a wide cream stripe. Below, vertical panels alternate solid stripes with diagonal lines ending in small circles. On the right, a sculpted handle projects outward, resembling a simplified snout with a horizontal slit along the edge. Broken edges expose the interior's rough, light brown texture.
