Description

Bowl Shaped with Foot

One footed Cooking pot (olla) with a squat-globular body, flaring collar, rounded rim, 1 horizontal strap handle on the body, and a footed base. There are no molded/modeled additions and no decoration. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a smoothed finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Evidence of usewear includes residues/staining on the exterior. There is a reddish brown stain on the exterior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "31041."
