Burnt and organically stained shell edged body/rim sherd from a tureen or similar serving vessel. There is a green painted shell edge motif that begins 0.75 inches below the rim on the exterior body. The body is lobed and molded with impressed wavy lines. There are two large spalls visible on the exterior where a horizontal lug handle would have attached. The vessel would have most likely been oval, so an accurate rim diameter cannot be obtained. Consists of two mended sherds. Sherd that mends but is not mended/glued was cataloged separately from neighboring context.
