The exterior of numerous grey pots shows lustrous burnishing while their interior is rough and hard-brushed. The types include: the vase, some broad-mouthed and narrow-necked and a few spouted; bowl including lipped, perforated, footed, broad-lipped, oval and channel-spouted; begging bowl; bowl with stand; footed cup; miniature pot; spoon or ladle; a knobbed sherd (type unascertainable); and a miniature hand-made dish in red ware with double perforation on four points representing a toy balance. An applied band on the neck of the vase conceals the luting of the neck with the body. Specimens with mat impression and post-firing graffiti \[20.1\] are also met with. Post-firing painted designs representing criss-cross, concentric semicircles, wavy lines, dots forming \*tri-śūla\*, etc., are usually noticed on the grey ware and rarely on the red and black-and-red wares. - [Previous: v2.c30.340](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30.340) - [Next: v2.c30.342](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30.342) - [Up: v2.c30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30.341](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30.341) · Pramāṇa
