Remarks

Originally code 11.13.06, then rechecked on date indicated above. A handle sherd of a bowed shaped handlee with protruding nub, round in form. Gray polished. Nicely made. Join of two sherds.

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.
