Kushan and early Kushano-Sasanian pottery. The prototype is defined by a sligth constriction of the wall, creating a waisted profile. Cup wider than high, with a simple rim, no handles and with an undifferentiated flat foot. It has an adapted design as a container to bring the drink to the mouth. The profile of the cup is defined by the presence of a very marked cleft at mid-height, which separates the upper wall of the cup, vertical and dented from a lower wall inclined at 45º that connects to the base. This prototype is an authentic chronological marker that defines the period between the II-III and V-VI centuries AD. The cup has a yellow / orange slip. The slip appears on both surfaces.
