- Description
- Small krater with elaborate profile.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Fabric: buff to pale orange color, slightly more red at surface. Fine, hard; smooth break. Rare, isolated, lime specks; small, angular, gray stoney inclusions; faintly micaceous. Slip: semiglossy, even, thick but variable from open body to contours; covers whole vessel; peeling in small flakes. Variable firing creates darker cloud across one side.
- Preservation comment
- Eight joining sherds preserve entire base and much of lower body and ca. 15% of rim. Slight, extensive abrasion with minor scoring and chipping; mostly clean breaks, and surface otherwise in good condition.
