Description:   Conical object; the bottom is flat; the hole in the top is large (0.016 m. in diameter) and deep (0.042 m.). The lugs in this case too are unsymmetrically placed, one being distinctly higher than the other; they were fairly large, but both have been broken. (Blegen, Zygouries, pg 188)
Decoration:   The surface, which is dark buff in tone, seems to have no slip. It was originally polished, including the base and the under sude of the lugs; most of the polishing was done in a horizontal direction around the cone, but the zone containing the lugs was rubbed vertically. (Blegen, Zygouries, pg 188)
