Pot

Pottery. Round bottom, high flaring neck, wide mouth. Painted red-white-black; chevron design.

Wide mouthed vessel with a globular body, flaring collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted around the body and neck with a band of geometric triangle designs in red, white, and black. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a smoothed finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. There is a patch of localized reduction on one side that has caused the red paint to fire brown. There are striations on the interior surface from smoothing tool. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "641."
