- Cylindrical neck tapers to rim; ridging on extant upper part. Simple flanged rim with rounded to slightly pointed lip. High arcing loop handle, irregular circle in section, attaches broadly at rim.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Consistently fired red with a tinge of orange (“brick“); slight coarse, slightly soft? smooth to granular break; rare, rounded lime chunks, some exploding at surface, and other tiny to small sandy bits: spherical, mostly sparse but well-sported, dark red but a few light (quartz).
- Preservation comment
- One sherd preserves 17% of rim, small part of upper neck, and uppermost attachment of one handle. Moderate, extensive abrasion especially around edges; worn breaks; faint, small, scattered patches of encrustation.
