Comments

This is the base of a fairly thick, low-fired pedestal or ringfoot. The decoration consisted of angular cutouts extending right through the pedestal wall, surrounded by stamped lozenges (motif PK486). Above the rim there are two parallel rows of stamped circles (motif A417). The decoration is quite coarsely executed, and the thick-walled and low fired vessel does not exhibit a high degree of ceramic skill.
