Description	A fragment of the lid to a creamware vessel preserves a slight curve and increases in thickness from one break edge toward the rim of the lid where it flares out into a U-shape. The upper lip of the lid, 0.005 m in thickness, juts out farther than the lower, 0.003 m in thickness, rounding outward from the top surface, then recessing and flattening for 0.006 m. The rim then curves back outward for 0.006 m to the rounded lower lip. The exterior surface bears traces of rust-colored slip, the majority of which lines the shallow crease where the upper lip begins to incline.
