Remarks

12.13.06 A rim to body sherd of a red-polished bowl. In the phiale family, but there is a pointed ridge or protrusion on the neck. It's almost as though there are two concave necks. On the interior of the rim, there is a conocavity or indentation where on the exterior there is the protrusion. Not sure how to capture all this on the form. I've indicated that the rim is pulled, but this isn't quite right either. In any case, a lovely sherd. I believe I've seen two others like this from Tsaghkahovit. One is WSH.22.C.07.
