Globular re-slipped pot with a flaring rim. The fabric of the pot is thin whilst the rim is thicker, with two small chips in two places. Two large fire clouds adorn the sides and there is a patch of smaller fire clouds near the bottom, along with a small hole, which looks to be made by some sort of drill. The slip is uneven. Lastly, the pot was made by paddle and anvil technique.
