Convex body and sloping shoulder; dense, sharp ridging. Ring handle, ovsl in section, with distinct ridge. Small hole (Diam. 5 mm) pierced through wall after firing below handle.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Typical fabric and surface treatment for ware: sandy orange northern Palestinian fabric, but overfired in irregular manner, so that dense flaking around handle, burned limestone inclusions, and clouds of scorching.
Preservation comment
One large sherd preserves part of upper wall and one handle. Slight, somewhat extensive abrasion and scoring; worn breaks; widespread, thin film of encrustation with some mold.
