- Description
- Amphoriskos. Body widens upward to distinct shoulder; tall conical neck. Upper neck and rim are missing except for part of slight offset below rim. Base is flattened, though not regular and not able to support vessel. Surface has spiraled bands of light ridging interrupted by smudging towards base. The spiral on the body is distinct from that on the neck, which has some overlapping strokes and excess clay.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- LRA3 fabric. Fine fabric, hard, with smooth to vaguely conchoidal fracture, with very frequent tiny silvery micaceous flakes. Fired to reddish yellow. Surface self-slipped, slightly darker than fabric.
- Preservation comment
- Almost intact but missing upper rim. Slight, sparse abrasion and chipping around base but otherwise in good condition.
