It is usually thick and not well-fired. Fine sand seems to have been the tempering material. The pottery is partially wheel-turned and partly (at the base) hand-modelled. - [Previous: v1.c16.s15.t2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s15.t2.9) - [Next: v1.c16.s15.t2.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s15.t2.11) - [Up: v1.c16.s15.t2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s15.t2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s15.t2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s15.t2.10) · Pramāṇa
