Jug

Complete but sprung near handle. Plain mouth on cylindrical neck which curves without distinct articulation into wide, ovoid body. Plain flat base. Curved handle to rim. Clay brick red at core, dark rose brown on surface; coarse and gritty with spotty balck and white accretions. The lower part of the body is much darker in hue than the upper part. I cannot persuade myself that this is caused by paint or slip rather than by some peculiarity in firing or even by soil action.
