Rare Medieval 'Ship Wreck' Storage Vessel
Clay, 3135 grams; 282 x 205 mm. Circa 10th century AD. A rare large medieval storage pot with wide globular body and thick rolled rim. Around the top of the body and below the rim are four looped mounts of which two are fully intact, these must have been used to suspend the pot with rope as they are too small to have been used as handles. The whole surface inside and out is covered with encrusted shells and barnacles. This item was recovered from a ship wreck of the coast of Vietnam. A rare piece in very fine condition.
