Piece 1736 is a small, round-bellied cup in dark, bare unglazed clay, its near-black charcoal wall dense with pale grog-like specks. The number “1736” is scratched into the surface, its four digits legible against the sandy ground. Fine hairline cracks thread the rim and inner wall. The torn rim and uneven walls read as hand-forming; no wheel marks are present.
