Remarks

A red-polished rim to handle sherd with a protruding nub that seems to be almost entirely preserved. Confusion in coding this type of handle--some described as bowed with morphic element, some described as elbow with morphic element, but the same general type. Hard to be sure of rim diameter given sherd's small size, but probably not smaller than 10cm.

I didn't take internal core colors of this redish handle sherd because I don't want to break it until after Hasmik draws it.

KK 4/9/12: changed the form of this nubbed handle to 'morphic' as part of comparative project; Abramova and Medvedskaya have interpreted these protrusions to be animal horns.
