This sherd may also be a body piece, but it\\\'s impossible to say more than \\\'shoulder\\\' due to the size of the fragment. Much of the slip has flaked of the interior surface, revealing an inner, coarse, unsmoothed surface onto which the 1mm-thick slip was applied. The interior surface also features basket or textile impressions, perhaps indicating a molding technique of formation: a pot or form covered in textile onto which the new vessel was modeled. The \\\'line\\\' decoration has rather angular sides, rectangular, and is not very deep. The exterior surface features vertical burnishing lines, but it\\\'s unclear is they are meant as vertical decorations or if enough polish has abraded away that only these lines are left. The exterior color is inconsistent with Pinkish Gray 7.5 YR 6/2 covering one third of the exterior surface. Firing cloud? Perhaps, because the darker color crosses the ornamental line without any regard for a representational frame. No corrosion visible, but limited mica \\\"pops\\\" are present on the exterior surface
