Description
Globular closed object, with short neck and narrow mouth. The base is flat and has a spout at the bottom, near the base. Grey compact and porous clay, made on a fast wheel. It was recovered during the 1984 excavation in Sector 01 (entrance to the enclosure), on December 12, without specifying in which room. It has been reconstructed from 89 fragments. It is a rather unique vessel among high medieval ceramics, without clear parallels, especially due to the lack of complete forms. We do not know its functionality.
