c. 100 BC - 600 AD  

The first, finely crafted lentoid vessel, with a bridge handle and two spouts, a wide band around the body with a repeated step-fret motif in dark brown outlined in white on salmon. In apparently very good, intact condition, with attractive glossy surface. The second, comprised of four conjoined globular fruits in reddish brown with dark brown navels, a central bridge handle with two spouts, floral design on bottom of each fruit. In apparently excellent condition, minor surface loss.
