A closed handbuilt boulder in charcoal bare clay, rounder and more even than most of its group, with the softest shoulders of the eight. Its hole sits differently: rather than opening flush at the top, it drops into a shallow dimple pressed into the crown, so the mouth reads as a small hollow with the opening at its floor. Pale particles scatter across the body, gathering into a bright drift down the front, and dark pits pock the wall between them. A dried grass stem stands in the hole in both photos.
What is the dip at the top of 2288? A shallow dimple pressed into the crown with the pierced hole opening at its floor — the only piece in the group where the opening sits recessed rather than flush. Piece 2288 of 10,000, listed at $22.88.
