Description

Late in TR or early in EC. Fragment from the lower body. Exterior: a series of horizontal lines on the body, seventeen of which remain. A reserved band, below, is followed by a glazed band which overlaps the tip of a ray. Interior glazed. Glaze: exterior, yellow-brown; interior, medium brown. The glaze is somewhat worn. Clay: hard and smooth. Yellow-beige. Munsell no. 10 YR 6/4 (light yellowish brown).

The use of a broad band of glaze near the ray suggests a date late in TR or early in EC. See also Cor 75, Cor 76.
