This cylinder with outcurved sides and an exteriorly thickened rim and rounded lip is extremely eroded, and reveals a light reddish brown (2.5YR 6/4) paste under the surface. The overall slip color is dark red (2.5YR 4/8), but some fire clouding occurs and can range between a light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4), brownish yellow (10YR 6/6), and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6). The diameter of the base is 10 cm. Two pieces of chert were found inside the vessel.
