- Description
- Hollow toe with excess clay pulled unevenly to one side on bottom; steep, thick walls. Impressed circle with fine-lined monogram (incuse).

- Hard, dense, fine fabric consistently fired to dark gray; no visible inclusions. Surface smoothed: fine wash? Smooth, bubbly surface where exposed: incipient vitrification?

- One small fragment preserves toe and lower wall. Possibly from same vessel as rim and neck sherd KTH0998. Extensive wear around breaks to rounded state; sparse specks of encrustation.
