Title
-
Food Preparation and Storage Vessel
-
Description
-
Discovered alongside many other items of its kind, this object was identified as a food preparation and storage vessel. Its circular base and wide open top suggests that it was used for preparation over storage - it was not found with an airtight lid like those of other storage vessels. Its lack of ornamental design suggests a focus on function over aesthetic value and furthers the notion that this object was used for every day duties in the kitchen.
