Very unique triplet vessels made of basering type ware. smaall cups connected to one another. possibly cultic.
Basering Ware “Bilbil” jug. known for its dark color, very fine ware with a metallic ring to it, and shape (similar to poppy flower and thought to have possibly held opium) and thin neck, so when poured from, it makes the sound “bilbil”.
Wishbone handle of a White Slip milkbowl – a round white slipped bowl with painted brown lines (sometimes forming ladders) and the trademark wishbone handle
