Description
Solid spike toe tapers to flattened bottom, marked off by widened panel at base. Light spiral turning.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
SCA Fabric 1, so far as can be observed through the encrustation: golden brown; hard, medium fine, with smooth to slightly granular break; uncommon, tiny to small, mixed white, red and gray, and rarely black(?) inclusions; slightly micaceous (silvery and golden). Eastern Aegean-western Asia Minor.
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves roughly lower half of toe. Slight, extensive abrasion and sparse chips; worn breaks; thin film of encrustation covers all surfaces.
