- Form and fabric related to Kenchreai RC22/Torone 7 but shape of handle attachments varies; perhaps late (5th-c.+) version.
- Description
- Cylindrical neck, slightly bulging. Vertical loop handle, oval in section, attaches at middle to upper neck and to shoulder.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Reddish yellow but fired slightly more pale at very surface; somewhat soft, gritty; slightly granular break; uncommon to common, tiny to small, mixed lime, red, and rarely black inclusions; faintly golden micaceous; even, somewhat thick, matte, white slip over outside. Sloppy manufacture, with clay smeared over surface.
- Preservation comment
- One sherd preserves one handle with upper and lower attachments. Slight to moderate, sparse abrasion and rare scoring; worn breaks; thin patches of encrustation.
