content: From card: "Cracked, down both sides and small chip off at the junction with the rim on one side. Semi-conical-based globular grey pottery jar, with a slight bulge almost at the center, wide mouth and slightly flaring rim, which is without decoration. Whole body is vertically marked with parallel grooves apparently made with a wide-toothed comb, or grooved paddle. Very similar to specimens No. 6348 and 8407, of which this appears to be simplified form, possibly showing beginning of degeneration of the technique. Blackened a[nd] grease stained inside and out from plenty of use. Probably collected in the 1870s."
