Miniature clay pot with knobs and one vertical loop handle

Miniature Cooking pot (olla) with a globular body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, unknown strap handles on the body, and a rounded base. The vessel has a white slip? and protruding knobs around the shoulder. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2820."
