Descriptions

Description
Small vessel with flared rim and tapered body. The flared rim is pierced on two opposite sides by holes approximately 1 cm apart; perhaps these holes allowed for the affixing of a cord handle or suspension string. The underside of the foot is concave, with a slightly convex protrusion at the center.
