The ceramic industry of this Pd consists mainly of four wares, of which the Jorwe Ware \[11.11\] is the most abundant, the other wares being the grey, coarse red and orange. The Jorwe Ware exhibits a number of special features at Nevasa. Thus, in addition to a matt surface, the ware shows the application of various slips, though the principal colour is red. Together with the regular shapes like spouted bowls, spouted vessels with a high neck and a squat body, a number of very small bowls, basins and ringed and stemmed stands also occur. A majority of the pots is wheel-made though some parts of certain vessels are made by hand in a mould. It is likely that bamboo baskets were also used for making clay vessels as is evidenced by a few thick sherds with perfect bamboomatting impressions on them. Noteworthy among the painted designs are the representations of the dog and wavy-horned antelope, though most of the designs are geometric. A few pots also bear graffito marks \[20.1\]. - [Previous: v2.c40.399](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.399) - [Next: v2.c40.401](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.401) - [Up: v2.c40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40) ## Cites (1) - [Nevasa](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.nevasa) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.400](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.400) · Pramāṇa
