Abstract

Thin-walled, globular pot has two delicate handles that attach at the rim and at the low shoulder. Lid is missing. Base is a shallow disk trimmed from the object itself. A narrow band is inscribed on the rim below the upper point where the handles meet the rim of the vessel. Another narrow band is inscribed in the body at the lower attachment site for the handle. A small chip in the body creates a hole of 0.15 cm. Traces of the original brick red wash can still be detected.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of an ancient pot made of terracotta or another clay with two thin handles on either side and a wide, globular body shape. The vessel has basically no neck, with its slightly flared lip opening up just after the thinnest portion of the pot's body. Engraved, decorative lines encircle the pot at the top and bottom of the handles. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow the viewer to inspect the object from multiple angles. A small, still image of the object is also included, with the object against a white background and a measurement scale in centimeters below it.
