Description

Large triangular handle ornament on thick post: relief of frilled acanthus leaf. Ring handle.

Fabric, firing, and surface description

Typical fabric (fine, somewhat soft), firing, and surface treatment (traces of pale brown slip but poorly preserved).

Preservation comment

One large sherd preserves most of large handle ornament. Slight, extensive abrasion; slip preserves in small patches and flakes across surface and in grooves; worn breaks; rare specks of encrustation.
