Description:   Fragments missing from wall, restored in plaster. Low massive base ring, steep wall; downturned rim. Black glaze inside, for two bands on the outside above and below the handles, and around the base.
Incised on the inside in large crude letters; the letters with tops down, encircling the wall: <graphic>
Incised on the underside of the floor: <graphic>
Incised on the outside in large letters on the lower wall, their tops toward the bottom: <graphic>
ADDENDA: The large lekanai P 5160-P 5163 are typical for most of the fragments in uninventoried storage from this well - 7 tins, heavily selected, when pottery was re-examined August 1967. They suggest a single purchase from a single shop. Somewhat more variety in rims and bases can be seen in the small series, these also well represented by the catalogued pieces. L.T.
