- Description
- Wide, rounded body. Vertical rim tapering toward top with thin, sharp lip; outside face offset from wall by shallow groove; inside face concave with curved ridge forming ledge for lid. Circular handle ridged all around, twisted, attaches from upper body to articulation of shoulder and neck.
- Fabric, firing, surface
- Pale brown at core, grey towards surface. Granular fabric with pimply surface has frequent small circular inclusions (“added sand“), occasional medium angular inclusions. All surfaces fired grey consistent with fabric.
- Preservation comment
- One sherd preserves ca. 8% of rim and shoulder and one handle. Mostly clean breaks but somewhat extensive abrasion and chipping across surfaces of vessel and handle; large patches of encrustation.
