Description
Flat-bottomed handle pot made of blue-grey earthenware. Round body with distinct twisting grooves. A rimmed handle on one side.
Provenance
Found during the excavation of a grave containing approximately 1,500 hollow pennies, mostly from Brandenburg, from the second half of the 15th century. Formerly the Luckenwalde Local History Museum. In April 1945, during the battle for the town, the museum building was destroyed and subsequently looted; only a few objects could be salvaged. Presumably lost during the war.
