Description
Probably early in MPC-II. Fragment of the rim and upper body, with one handle stub remaining. Exterior: two horizontal lines near the rim. On the handle stub, two thin horizontal lines (beginning where the handle joins the body) merge to form a single line on the handle proper. Four vertical bars are preserved in the handle frieze. The first of these bars runs over the end of the handle stub, but they all stay properly within the horizontal frame. Eight horizontal lines remain on the upper body. Interior: a single horizontal line in the reserved area near the rim; otherwise glazed. Glaze: black but worn. Clay: fine and hard. Munsell no. 10 YR 7/4 (very pale brown).
