Description
Stove fired in an oxidising atmosphere, with a reddish fabric and fine inclusions. It has a globular body, neck with convergent-divergent walls and a rounded lip. The base is flat and has three solid feet. It has two tape handles. In the area of the shoulder there are three triangular oxygenation holes. These stoves were used to heat the container that was placed on top, for which embers were put inside the stove.
