Description

Painted, depressed angular body, wide mouth, everted lip, two horizontal loop handles

Deep bowl or 'Cazuela' with a squat body with inverted walls, no neck/collar, flanged rim, 2 horizontal strap handles on the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with red at the interior of the rim and orange on the exterior with a band of geometric design in white, brown, and red around the center of the body. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2348."
