 This item was excavated along with an ash-glazed vase used as an ossuary, and is a rare example of a secondary burial object in a medieval cemetery. It is made of yellowish-white, rough-grained clay, water-milled and molded, with a narrow, degenerate handle. The ash glaze is uniformly fused and has a yellowish-green color from oxidative firing, dating to the early 15th century.
