3D Model

The conservation state of the vessel is fragmentary. The pot features an everted rim and a flat base, bulging on the interior. The recipient was manufactured from a course paste containing different sized pebbles and grog. The only decorative element is a round button, applied under the area of the neck. Most probably, four such buttons were present on the walls of the vessel, serving also for the optimal manoeuvrability of the container. Firing was performed in an oxidation atmosphere. Traces of soot may be observed all over the surface of the pot, especially on the neck and shoulder, probably due to the utilisation in the kitchen for preparing food or in different activities in the proximity of the fire hearth. - Find-spot: Ocolișu Mic – Poiana lui Mihu, commune of Orăştioara de Sus (Hunedoara County)
