Description
Conical cup with flat floor. Ring foot extends from intersection of wall and floor, providing nearly flat resting surface with interior face concave, exterior rounded. Incuse stamp at center of floor: cross or rosette(?) in circular field.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Fine fabric with glistening micaceous bits visible in direct sunlight, consistently fired to red. Thick, slightly darker slip on all extant surfaces.
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves 25% of ring foot and much of floor. One chip but otherwise slip is well preserved on all extant surfaces; worn breaks; faint cloud of discoloration (gray).
