| Description | Deep bowl or 'Cazuela' with a squat-globular body, flaring collar, rounded rim, 2 horizontal strap handles on the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a horizontal band of geometric design around the body in white, brown, and red. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. 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: "2343." |
