Digital Object 678
Description:
Plate with a ring base and thickened rim on the outside. Red slip inside the piece and white slip on the outside (except for the base), where geometric patterns were painted. These designs are simple "yc" and "v" designs separated by a curvilinear band of red. This Variety of plate is exclusive to funerary deposits and was used to cover the bodies. They have only been found in late tombs.
An interesting piece of data: fragments of this plate were found in two different stratigraphic units of tomb T2, unit UE104 (second level of the tomb) and unit UE135 (located on the third level).
