Description | This vessel has an almost vertical rim, set at right angles onto a flaring-in neck. The neck itself is long and narrow and has a collar or ridge at its base. There is one vertical handle with a central depression in it; the handle starts at mid-neck and ends on the shoulder - its lower end has a "foot" attachment. There is a flat base. The vessel is wheel made. The surface has a sandy appearance except when light horizontal burnishing strokes occur. About 1/4 of the rim of this vessel is missing. |
