Painted Tin-Glazed Earthenware Body Sherd

One rather thick body sherd from a light yellow-bodied tin-glazed earthenware hollowware vessel with white glaze on both the interior and the exterior and a large-scale painted geometric pattern in blue on the exterior. The sherd is burnt and the entire exterior motif cannot be determined due to both the size of the sherd and the fire damage. The vessel is likely from a large hollowware vessel.
