Description | Black. Flattened. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a lentoid body, cylindrical neck, flattened rim, no handles, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. There is a post-fired incised cross on one side of the vessel. 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. There is a gathering of clay on the interior of one side of the body visible through the hole in the base. This is where the body was closed. There is a post-fired incised cross on one side of the vessel. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2126." |
