The guide types are all handmade. The mould-made decorated vessel appears in the last two stages of occupation and show a distinct refinement in potting and decoration. The best guide-characteristics are found in the finer jars having two or three cordons with ribbings or ridges demarcating their limits and showing on the reserved bands a polished red ground and on the decorated bands designs such as beads or fish-scales in relief. Powdered mica is sometimes used as a wash on the decorated bands. A medium-sized jar is shaped and decorated in relief with bristles in imitation of a young jack-fruit, with a reserved neck portion showing a polished red ground. - [Previous: v2.c28.104](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.104) - [Next: v2.c28.106](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.106) - [Up: v2.c28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.105](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.105) · Pramāṇa
