Description

Fragmentary. Terracotta; shoulder encircles with protuberances.

Wide mouthed vessel with a globular body, flaring collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. The vessel has spike-like triangular protrusions around the shoulder. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "952a."
