Description
This ceramic sherd from Fort Albany, Ontario, comes from a large coarse earthenware utilitarian vessel. The lead-glaze, remains on the interior, though it was likely applied on the exterior surface as well. The glaze gives the fragment a red-orange glossy colour. The exterior is decorated with incised lines.
