| Description: | Plate with vertical ring foot, rounded resting surface, flat undersurface. Shallow body rising at ca. 15 degrees with rounded profile to oblique, inward thickened rim, triangular in section, with vertical lip. Rim offset by groove on interior. Exterior left rough. | |
| Decoration: | Thin slip on interior; coarse sgraffito decoration in center: tall figure with bent, raised rt. arm, wearing short garment with slashes on sleeve, 4 long lines down front with parallel horizontal lines across chest, scraped hose (?), compass point in groin; to his rt., a smaller figure in profile with face front. Face round with short curly hair, circles for eyes, straight slash for mouth, draped, arms bent, holding out to proper lt. an implement with 3 pointed sections. Morgan associates this with C-1937-1410. While profile, clay, glaze and profile identical, as well as sgraffito, difficult to see how united composition would work. | |
