Dimensions: 13 CM height 48 cm round
A large, deep, open-mouthed vessel with a broad, slightly everted rim and a rounded, globular body tapering gradually toward a small, rounded base. The vessel has a simple, undecorated exterior with no visible handles, knobs, or applied ornamentation. Its surface displays extensive greenish and dark brown corrosion products, consistent with the long-term oxidation of a copper-based alloy. The interior is similarly weathered and preserves an uneven, heavily patinated surface. The form appears utilitarian and may have served as a bowl, basin, or household vessel.
