Preservation comment
Nine joining sherds preserve 75% of rim and most of neck and shoulder, with upper and lower parts of both handles. Slight, sparse abrasion and moderate erosion with flaking and pitting everywhere; worn breaks; thick patches of white encrustation especially around upper neck, handles, and rim. Weathering consistent with long marine submersion.
