Discus Iconography: Plain discus. Description: Moldmade. Biconical shallow body. Instead of a round discus, a rectangular space, defined by a thick U-shaped ridge, is pierced in its center by the filling-hole. Shoulder with relief vegetal pattern; distinct ridge between upper and lower body. Medium-long broad nozzle with an anvil-shaped tip; large wick-hole; on nozzle top two curved thin ridges suggest volutes. Raised blurred oval base-ring.
