Fabric is coarse but not visible beneath red (10 YR 4/6) to dark red (10 YR 3/6) paint; decoration in added white paint. Added white: three sets of pendent concentric semicircles in interior. Intact, except for handle. Marked with tag no. 864a. This is a miniature version of 4100. Compare Hawes et al. 1908: pl. 2, nos. 25-26 (Gournia).
