Description (Physical description)
Description for 1924.938 [A-B]: 'The larger has a rounded base and two holes equidistant about .5 cm down from the rim. Comparatively roughly fashioned with finger impressions on the outer surface. Small chips reveal an almost black fabric under the brown exterior. Good condition. The smaller of the same material but with a flattened base; more roughly made than the larger with many inclusions and some cracks in the fabric.'
