Zaragoza, Spain

Casserole with a truncated conical body, exposed walls, with rounded molding in the upper third; edge with flat lip thickened inside and outside; and flat bottom. It is provided with two oval section handles that start at the lip and end under the molding.

It is made with pinkish-colored paste with a medium-sized degreaser, in oxidizing firing. Abundant vacuoles can be seen on the entire surface.

In the upper third it has a decoration based on soft grooves.

According to research by Aránzazu Mendívil, there are parallels of this piece in the city of Zaragoza in the excavations of Pº de la Independencia in the abandoned levels of the suburb (Gutiérrez, 2006) and in the ovens of San Pablo. Parallels have also been found in Madrid, Toledo, Bayyana (Almería), Palma de Mallorca and Málaga, specifically in Ronda, in wells from the 10th and 11th centuries.
