- Description
- Light gray core with transition to reddish brown near surfaces but splotchy (pale orange) areas; slightly coarse, slightly hard; smooth to granular break; very rough, pimply surface; frequent tiny angular sandy bits, many visible on surface; occasional, medium to small, rounded lime chunks; more uncommon gray or clear particles (quartzite?) and dark bits (dark gray, red?). Surface very thinly slipped to essentially plain. Rounded wheel ridging on exterior toward base, though becoming less prominent away from base; interior quite smooth. Classic Beirut City fabric?
- Preservation comment
- One large sherd preserves entire toe and part of lower body. Slight, sparse abrasion and scoring; worn breaks; faint, sparse patches of encrustation on exterior but large patch near toe inside.
