Printed Whiteware Body/Handle Sherd

A blue transfer-printed body sherd from a paneled hollowware vessel, possibly a pitcher. The surface decoration on the vessel's body shows the upper portion of a group of trees, while the handle features a repeating flower and vine pattern. The exterior and interior of the object exhibit signs of damage, likely caused by coming into contact with an iron object.
