Description	The piece preserves the lower right corner of the tile. At the right side and on the bottom is a projection towards the back, at right angles to the face of the tile. At the bottom corner, a rectangular notch is out from front to back (0.056 m by 0.019 m). The bottom surface of the projection has a broken area, roughly circular, about 0.080 m across, as though some attachment had been broken off. The projection at the bottom has been broken off, but that at the side is preserved to its edge, which is bevelled on the inside. The painted pattern consists of a modified meander 0.070 m high in white on a dark red backgound; above and below is a horizontal white line, bordered on both sides with dark red. The whole pattern forms a border 0.150 m high.
