Shape: Fragment of the shoulder of a large, brown-glazed Khmer jar. The coil-built wall of the jar is approximately 1.0 cm thick.
Clay: Rough, porous, dark-colored clay fired to a low stoneware temperature. The body of the jar is mostly a dark violet-brown except on the inner wall where it has reoxidized to a brick-red color.
Glaze: Patchy, thin, iron-brown glaze that fired to an olive-drab color with many light splotches. A lump of kiln debris adhered to the glaze in the kiln.
Decoration: Combed underglaze incising of vaguely floral designs, surmounted by five deeply incised rings on the shoulder of the jar.
Marks: None.
