Covered Jar

USA, 1974
<p>This box crudely built is composed of coils and lunps of clay pressed together. Each piece is a different color including light and dark blue, green, brown, and white. The lid has a clunky handle with a thick blue coil on top of it. </p><p>A view without the lid shows the rim is slanted to the left.</p><p>A close up of the lid on the uneven rim shows the unglazed handle with two white pieces of clay presed in and the blue coil on top.</p><p>The underside is smokey grey, there is a sticker with the accession number, Scripps College L.78.1.269.</p>
