Pot-shaped vessel

Description

Pot-shaped vessel, made of red clay. The item is wheel-thrown. The surface of the vessel, both on the outside and partially on the inside, is partly preserved with a brown slip (engobe). The outer surface shows signs of smoothing and polishing. The rim is straight, with a low neck; the edges of the rim have a flattened rectangular cross-section and are strongly turned outward. On both sides, near the neck at the shoulders, two loop-shaped handles are attached. The body of the vessel is spherical, swollen in the upper part, with walls tapering towards a flat bottom with smoothed edges.
