Physical Description
A round ceramic fitted lid for a bowl.

This is a gray, high-fired stoneware cup. The flange of the cup slopes inwards, and the rim has a sharp edge. The gallery supporting the lid protrudes a short distance, below which a single, incised, horizontal line encircles the cup. Faint traces of natural glaze can be found on the inner surface of the vessel.
