Bowl

Red ware bowl with birds head, wings and tail modeled as lugs

Cooking pot (olla) with a globular body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, and a rounded base. There is a modeled bird head, wings, and tails used as lugs. There appears to be a smoothed finish on the exterior and a scraped finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange and gray in color. Evidence of usewear includes soot on the exterior and residue on the interior. There is a large amount of black sooty deposit at the interior that looks like dust. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2818."
