Fabric, firing, and surface description
Typical fabric, firing, and surface treatment for type (slip reddish brown, slightly darker than fabric: despite abrasion somewhat thin and uneven, semimatte: transitional to late).
Preservation comment
One large sherd preserves most of top, including entire discus and nearly entire shoulder but missing handle and front of nozzle. Moderate, extensive abrasion and slight chipping around edges; somewhat worn edges; infrequent, small patches of encrustation in relief.
