Discussion/Acknowledgements

NB 123: 2. Found June 19, 1965. Single sherd preserves inner bridge only, across a trough spout as torn away from a sieved wall. At opening of trough bull's horns extend outward and a tonguelike plain forelock overhangs the trough, which was straight-sided at this point.
