Reddish brown, consistently fired; fine, hard fabric with smooth break; rare to uncommon, poorly sorted, tiny to small, tabular white inclusions. Thin, uneven, semimatte slip slightly darker than fabric. Surface smoothed.
Preservation comment
One small fragment preserves toe and lower wall. Possibly from same vessel as toe sherd KTH2041. Moderate, extensive wear and chipping around edges; somewhat worn breaks; thin patches of encrustation.
