Dark-brown glazed earthenware sherd of a hollow-ware vessel, e.g. a storage pot, dating to the 17th-19th centuries. It was glazed only on the inside to make it waterproof. The grooves on the inside are not part of the decoration, but grooves left by the potter's fingers during the potting of the vessel.
