crucible

Description

Fine buff clay (no obvious inclusions or vegetal impressions). Inside

the surface has been reduced to a slaggy state (up to 1 cm thick

but mostly much less)

copper pieces and prills remain

corroded green; exterior is clean

hand-modelled and wiped; it has no signs of heat having been applied. Shape not really possible to deduce: but nothing to prevent it having been hemispherical.
