25. Five co-joinable and three other body sherds of a small globular vessel with a faceted vertical handle. On the exterior of the shoulder is a horizontal groove, immediately below this is a festoon executed by an incision with a blunt tool; both edges of the resulting groove are decorated with impressions ´a falsa cordicella´. This combination of decoration is unusual but is paralled by a jar from the upper valley (Donati and Michelucci 1981, 39 No.53) and another from Roselle (Bocci Pacini 1978, 33 No.16). Below this is a zig-zag consisting of separate straight incised lines. At the bottom points of the zig-zag is an impression in the shape of a lotus bud. The vessel appears to have been made on a slow wheel.
