| Comment | This piece is the first known example of a ‘Blade Arrowhead Industry’ with a pottery complex. It is a typical example of Tokoro-14-rui pottery, of which have been seen only a few analogies elsewhere. The lip shows an oval shape from an upper view. There are no incised lines on the surface, but three rows of ring stamps can be seen in the rim decoration. |
