Both appliqués are hollow and probably had rattle beads. The object is decorated with two carvings on the wall. It has been smoothed, slurried and primed on both sides. One protome is fragmented. The monochrome vessel has a red-brown ground colour. The anthropomorphic protomes wear a cap and ear jewellery. They are bending their arms and legs and holding their hands to their stomachs. Their mouths are open. The opposing incised decorations show two seated, anthropomorphic beings who appear from a frontal perspective. They are raising their arms and spreading their legs. A similar figure appears in Lothrop (1926) as a white line ware pattern, type C. The inside of the object remains undecorated. (Künne 2004)
