Description
Cooking pot with bosses on shoulder, was slightly painted, two vertical loop handles on shoulder
Cooking pot (olla) with a globular body, bulging collar, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is red slipped with white painted lines on the rim, neck, and handles. The body has numerous hemispherical protrusions on the body pushed out from the interior. There appears to be a smoothed finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Evidence of usewear includes soot on the exterior and residue on the interior. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink on the bottom of the base. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "31964."
