Physical description
Green, flat-bodied flask, the rim folded outward, upwards and inwards and flattened on top by pressure, a cylindrical neck, a circular body in vertical section, with flattened sides and a convex base. Each flat face of the body is decorated in the left-hand upper corner with a mould-blown cross. The neck and rim were pre-blown into a mould; pontil-mark on base.
