Remarks

At least a quarter of the upper portion of a medium sized LM jar, it is r/s here, and no decoration is visible (although calcitic concretions obscure much of the external surface. The vessel features a rather severe shoulder, jutting out perpendicular from the neck. Some polish is visible under the external concretions, starting on the external rim, so descriptions may be revised upon acidic cleaning. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the interior surface and possible wiping marks, textile impressions, or slab-rolling impressions are visible on the internal shoulder. The internal surface, which is less obscured features areas of both Very Dark Gray GY1 3/N and Dark GY1 4N. The exterior surface is 85% covered in light gray dendritic corrosion, the internal surface 20%. In addition to the fine sand, limited frequencies of medium sand inclusions are visible in the fabric. Breaks are rough.
