Handle of vase

A single reddish-brown ceramic handle, curved and tapering from a broad rounded head with a raised knob down to a narrow pointed foot. The surface is slightly rough and unglazed, with faint tool marks along the length. Shown isolated on a plain pale ground.

Look closer: Faint tool marks and a small chipped edge along the left side of the handle.
