Description

A Gray Ware object of uncertain function. Finished on one side, starting to rise just at the break. Hole in the center is neatly finished. Other side left rough. Compare the unusual objects (“spools”) from HoB, HoB 536, HoB 537, and HoB 539, that seem somewhat in the same spirit as this object. I am grateful to Catherine S. Alexander for this observation.

Dimensions
H. 0.0285, W. 0.175, L. 0.0935, Diam. of hole 0.0325.
