Remarks

Half of an LB mini-vessel, this is a handmade, "pinch-pot" container with a rather asymmetrical, uneven exterior surface. No visible decorations. Rotational striations on the interior surface and large burnouts/voids perforating the interior surface and visible in the vessel wall suggest quick, pinch and twist formation techniques. While the interior and exterior colorations are consistent throughout, the exterior is 20% covered in light yellow accretions and the interior 40% covered in the same (a possible internal contents deposit). Interior color is not observable at present due to covering accretions. Breaks are rough.
