Comments

This small beaker has a widely flaring top.  Multiple incised lines forming ribs in narrow bands decorate the middle and bottom.  

This beaker is likely a mate to accession no. 1959.4091.  When the original accession record was created in 1959, cataloguers observed that the two beakers were not identical.  The only visible difference seems to be that this beaker has five ribs around the middle whereas 1959.4091 has four.  All other aspects, including the oxidized surface and level of wear and tear, are the same.
