Elliptical to tear-shaped outline. Oval flat bottom with incuse manufacturing mark: single simple palm branch surrounded by double grooves in ellipsis with single circles at front and back points.
Fabric, firing, surface
Typical fabric (very pale red, few tiny black bits); firing, and surface treatment (thin, consistent slip slightly darker than fabric, almost a wash). Slightly thickened and smoothed seem.
Preservation comment
One large sherd preserves entire base and ca. 55% of walls from seem down. Slight, extensive pitting and abrasion and very rare gouging; mostly clean breaks; thin to thick, extensive patches of encrustation on all surfaces.
