Painted Tin-Glazed Earthenware Body Sherd

(1600 - 1800)

One body sherd from a light yellow bodied tin-glazed earthenware vessel with white glaze on one surface and a blue and red painted decoration on top of white glaze on the interior. The face has a delicately painted design with medium blue ovals filled in with dark red lines. The red painted coloring appears to be over the glaze while the blue appears under the glaze. Sherds from the same or a similar vessel are in a neighboring context but do not mend.
