Remarks

Typical ear-shaped KA handle, symetrically proportioned and attached to a small bit of body ceramic. The sherd exhibits abrasion and corrosion over approximately 30% of the exterior surface. The interior (body) surface of the sherd is speckled throughout with brown and black corrosion, minimally obscuring the interior surface color. This does not appear to belong to a very thick-walled vessel, but it is cetainly not a small vessel. Sherd sent to Yerevan in summer 2007 in order to be drawn by Hasmik.
