Description:   Much missing, but the profile complete; restored in plaster. A large plain hollow stand with bulging walls finished off plain at top and bottom. Its shape recalls the deep braziers like P 16521 (ΓΓ 976), but the object is much larger and without bottom, rim or handles. A piece of the wall at the bottom is cut away to provide a fire-hole.
Heavy coarse cooking ware fabric, much blackened from use.
