Description

Late in TR or early in EC. Two joined fragments from near the foot. Exterior: portions of three horizontal lines remain near the top of the fragment, followed by a wide area of reserve, a wide glazed band, and a series of four partially preserved, wobbly rays which are unevenly spaced. Interior glazed. Glaze: reddish orange on both the interior and exterior. Clay: hard, fine, and smooth. Munsell no. 7.5 YR 7/4 (pink).

The careless execution of the rays and the use of a wide band between the lines of the body and the rays are typical of kotylai dating late in TR and early in EC.
