Ceramic vessel

Clay vessel with a round opening, bulbous at the bottom. It is made of coarse clay (clearly recognisable by the chipped areas). The colour is dark red with orange, the surface is decorated with engraved zigzag lines and "cuneiform characters". A hand with an outstretched index finger refers to the characters, and a head of an animal that could be a dragon is also depicted. The script copies cuneiform characters, it has no meaning. Database: Clay vessel (typical Bedouin style) with imitated cuneiform characters.
