- Description
- Small cup. Everted triangular short rim and (probably) one handle. Rim is undercut by concave band that forms a carination above widest point of wall; wall then narrows with recurved profile to slightly irregular flat base. Handle is attached right below rim and bends sharply back to mid-point of wall below widest point. Handle has oval profile and is not cut; smoothed at lower attachment.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Hard, slightly granular fabric fired to predominant very dark reddish gray; redder core at thickest part of wall. Frequent small to tiny angular and varied inclusions. Thinly slipped surface is lighter gray with some redder areas.
- Preservation comment
- One sherd preserves ca. 45% of vessel including small part of rim, full profile, roughly one half of base, and entire handle. Extensive, slight abrasion with sparse pitting and chipping; worn breaks; slight encrustation, mostly in a single small patch.
