    This vessel is brown. The exterior has corrugations that have been partially obliterated. The effect is the texture of flattened stairs, adjacent levels at times combined. A small braided coil handle occurs attaching to the edge of the rim and about 3 CM below it. It is likely that the vessel was suspended by the handle considering the wear on the handle and the area of the base opposite it. Much wear is present across the exterior base. The rim ...
