English: Fragment or body sherd from a pottery Bronze Age funerary urn or storage vessel. The exterior is decorated with parallel bands of impressed double twisted cord with no gaps between them, and is juxtaposed against another set of parallel bands of impressed cord at about a 45 degree angle, in two fields. The fabric is a gabbroic (clay that weathers over the gabbro stone on the Lizard) with inclusions of pale feslpar, dark augite and mica. The colour of the fabric is a light brown interior to more oxidised orange exterior with some black patches of residue which are likely sooting. The curvature of the upper edge of the sherd suggests that the original diameter of the vessel would have been about 280 mm in diameter. The decoration and fabric is typical of what is locally termed Trevisker ware, after a site in St Eval where it was first discovered. These vessels usually have the decoration in the upper half of the vessel, so this sherd has come from the upper half, probably between the shoulder and the rim. This complex decoration is seen on later Early Bronze Age funerary vessels as well as food vessels and storage jars from the Middle Bronze Age, and the sooting on the exterior of the sherd could suggest that this vessel performed either function.

Patchett (1944) illustrates a ribbon-handled urn with a very similar pattern of twisted cord-impressed chevrons in juxtaposed fields from Haryln Bay Barrow III, on page 30, fig.6, no.B2, which is dated from the Wessex II phase (c.1650-1400 BC), from the late Early Bronze Age to the Middle Bronze Age, .

Nowakowski (1991) illustrates an example of a large vessel with similar decoration consisting of twisted bands in chevrons at the same angle and another with parallel bands in close proximity from Trethellan, Newquay, on pages 112 & 114, figs.43 & 45, nos.18 & 30, which are dated from the Middle Bronze Age, c.1500-1200 BC.

Gossip (2014) illustrates a large storage vessel with similar complex decorative zones with double twisted cord-impressed chevrons found at Boden on the Lizard on page 28, fig.22, vessel P1, which has been radio-carbon dated from c.1370-1120 BC.
