Description

Pottery. Tapering body, short vertical neck, wide mouth; four small horizontal loop handles on shoulder.

Wide mouthed vessel with an ovate body, cylindrical collar, outward sloping rim, 4 horizontal cord handles on the shoulder, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel has four horizontal lugs or cord handles evenly spaced around the shoulder. No decoration. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2128."
