Stoneware Crucible

Four mending ceramic body and rim sherds from a large crucible or similar vessel. The crucible is likely a crude stoneware with a very coarse gray paste. The crucible is heavily burnt and the interior has heavy traces of residue. The vessel appears to have a rounded rim as opposed to crucibles found in the same context with triangular mouths.
