Fabric, firing, and surface description
Typical fabric (pinkish, fine, slightly soft; highly micaceous), firing, and surface firing (pale surface skin). Slight seam ridging.
Preservation comment
One large sherd preserves most of upper part above seam but missing front right part. Slight, sparse abrasion and rare pitting; worn breaks; very rare specks of encrustation.
