Description
Mug. Tall disc base with thickened floor, string-cut. Sharp but unfinished outer edge. Flaring lower wall.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Light reddish brown fabric, consistently fired. Hard; slight gritty. Uncommon, small, poorly sorted, angular, lime inclusions; rare, varied tiny bits; dense small flecks of silver mica. Thin, even wash same color as fabric. Material typical for ware.
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves 75% of base and small part of lower body. Slight abrasion around edges but otherwise good condition; scattered specks of encrustation.
