Fabric, firing, and surface description
Pink fabric, slightly more pale at surface; consistently fired. Medium hard, fine; slightly granular break. Uncommon, well sorted, tiny mixed particles (angular?): red, gray, white; uncommon small golden mica flakes. Wet smoothing around handle and neck.

One large sherd preserves ca. 30% of shoulder and lower neck with one handle. Slight, sparse abrasion and light scratching; slightly worn breaks; patches of discolored encrustation, especially on shoulder.
