- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- As far as can be observed through burning: Fabric: yellow with a tinge of pink; somewhat soft; gritty texture, slightly granular break; uncommon, small, well sorted, subangular, white and rare, small, angular black inclusions, varied tiny bits; micaceous. Variable firing. Slip: brownish red slip survives in large patches, outside lamp; thin, even, semilustrous(?).
- Preservation comment
- One large sherd preserves ca. 60% from upper middle to right part of lamp, including over one-half of discus, the right shoulder, and the entire nozzle. Moderate, extensive abrasion; worn breaks; scattered specks of encrustation. Extensive secondary burning?
