Loeschcke Type 4. Mold-made. Discus: a single filling hole at center, surrounded by two raised circles; two more raised lines form the inner edge of a band of close-set radiating lines that extends to a groove around the edge of the discus. The circular lines also form a sharply-pointed 'V' that extends though the band of radiating lines and onto the back of the nozzle. Undecorated, slightly sloping shoulder. Volutes flanking nozzle. Impressed ring base, and an uneven pushed-in base.
