Description

2 sherds found in MASCA. the smaller fragment is much pinker, but the decoration seems the same as the larger fragment--almost as if it has been cleaned but the larger hasn't. The larger fragment appears more of a dull/buff ware. there is a pattern of "jail bars" that is incised and yet slipped in a darker gret. Also a set of concentric circles appears incised and darkly slipped.
