Plate

With crossed stripes and crocodile head handle (perhaps bird head handle)

Plate with a flaring body, flaring neck, inward sloping rim, 1 effigy-zoomorphic handle on the rim, and a flat base. The plate is painted white on the top surface with a large X painted in red and black. The handle is painted red and white and there is a band of black geometric design opposite the handle along the rim. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a burnished finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2212."
