Description
Rounded shoulder. Short, truncoconical neck. Flaring rim has pointed lip with rounded outer face and slightly concave inner face. Short, angled loop handle, oval in section, attaches at middle of neck to base of rim and at shoulder. Combing on upper body to shoulder at level of lower handle attachment.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Near standard LRA2 Argolid fabric and firing, with golden micaceous flakes. Extensive wet smoothing around neck and handles; faint brush marks around rim.
Preservation comment
One large sherd preserves entire rim and most of neck, roughly one third of upper body and shoulder, and one entire handle and upper 15% of the other. Slight, sparse abrasion, scratching and chipping but otherwise surface in good condition; mostly clean breaks; sparse, thin patches of encrustation and orange discoloration: iron oxide?
