- Description
- Large bulbous unguentarium. Three widely spaced, deep grooves on body above widest point. Slight concave base.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Fabric is discolored by marine exposure. Fine with very frequent varied angular sand inclusions.
- Preservation comment
- Single sherd preserving essentially all of the body to just below turning to narrow neck. Surface has marine encrustation and the surface is now predominantly gray with buff patches, it seems likely that the buff color is closer to the original. Marine animal encrustation and adhering plaster on exterior surface.
