Pot

Globular body; slightly contracting neck; wide mouth. Painted red and black on white ground.

Wide mouthed vessel with a globular body, tapered collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a band of geometric design around the shoulder in white, black, red, and purple. There is another band of geometric design on the neck in white and black. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a smoothed finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. There are striations on the interior surface from smoothing tool. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1573."
