- Description
A large portion preserved from the shoulder to mid-body. The remains of two large dot-rosettes, one complete, on the shoulder, followed by five thin concentric lines of black glaze. Four dot-rosettes on the belly, framed above and below by bands of black glaze with a thinner band of added red in the center. Glaze: medium brown to black, somewhat worn. No incision. The red paint may have been added directly onto the clay. Clay: fine, hard, and smooth. Yellow-buff. Munsell no. 10 YR 7/4 (very pale brown).
Another small TR fragment with a dot rosette, uninv. HoB 29/vii/63, was found at HoB W 0--4.00/S 105.00--109.00 *99.20--*98.20.
For other examples of red that seems to be added directly onto the clay, see Cor 60, Cor 62
