PLATE V- 



Han Porcelanous Pottery. 

 Small jar, now unglazed, but originally glazed in its middle portion; when 

 found, covered all over with masses of earth, the glaze having been destroyed by 

 chemical influences under ground, and a white engobe being left in its place. A 

 wave-band, each consisting of five lines, presumably done by means of a roller, 

 runs around the upper rim and the neck. A double knot in low relief is stamped 

 above the loop handles, which terminate in a flat ring filled with incised, radiating 

 lines, apparently the reproduction in clay of a metal ring. The bottom is raised 

 on a rim, about I cm high. 



Third century a.d. 

 Height, 21.2 cm. Cat. No. 118717.
