Remarks

Fragment from the shoulder of a medium to large sized LB jar, possible a storage jar. The decorative schema consists of a three circumferential (relief) belts applied through applique in what appears to be a single moment. The belts average 0.55 cm in width and are spaced on average 1.1 cm apart. The exterior appears to have been polished at some point, with significant amounts of it, now abraded off. Dense circumferential rotational striations are visible on the external surface, while the internal surface features textile or matt impressions from wiping or slab rolling. The exterior surface features 20% light brown corrosion, while the interior is 80% covered in light gray corrosion. In addition to the medium sand, significant frequencies of coarse sand inclusions are visible in the fabric. The external surface is moderately covered in mica pops and/or inclusion perforations, with lower fewer frequencies observable on the interior surface. Breaks are rough.
