They may be classified broadly into seven groups: (i) storage jars, (ii) vases, (iii) basins, (iv) bowls, (v) lids, (vi) dishes-on-stand (?), and (vii) miniature pots. Of these the vases in which vertical handles are attached between the rim and the shoulder deserve special mention. In one bowl a set of legs is attached to its base, while a few large basins have horizontally or vertically attached loop handles just below the rim on either side, one such handle being of a twined rope pattern. The base of the vases, bowls and basins is flattish, discoid or ringed. Though not a single complete dish-on-stand has been found, broken pieces of its different parts indicate that the type also occurs at Lal Qila. A variety of interesting miniature pots, generally complete, includes different types of bowls, vases, pots and lids with pinched oblong knob. - [Previous: v2.c38.108](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.108) - [Next: v2.c38.110](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.110) - [Up: v2.c38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38) ## Linked texts (2) - [Atranjikhera](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.atranjikhera) - [Saipai](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.saipai) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.109](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.109) · Pramāṇa
