Description

This vessel has a wide, flaring neck with a direct rim. The shoulder is decorated with cross-hatched pattern burnishing. The neck has widely spaced wide vertically burnished strips, and one area of cross-hatching as well. The body is globular but asymmetrical. There is one vertical handle which runs from below the rim to the upper body. The base is very slightly rounded - essentially flat. The exterior of the pot has badly pitted spots, and exterior and interior have areas of concretion.
