- Pot : urn : cordoned
- Description
- Pot : urn : cordoned Two distinct cordons and a well-defined raised ridge encircle this vessel. The rim is flat and simple. (This vessel has been strengthened internally with plaster of Paris, hence it is impossible to establish its correct profile). Under the rim two horizontal lines of cord occur. The impression made by this cord is unusual in that it is extremely deep and at the same time a very fine whipped cord. So fine is this impression that it was frequently lost in the wet clay. The main motif is made up of a double chevron with the angles between filled with oblique strokes in whipped cord. This occurs under the raised ridge and is terminated by the first applied cordon. The area between this and the second cordon is undecorated. The ware is loose and extremely friable. It is buff in colour.

National Museums NI holds over a million objects in the collection, as well as this we manage the records and associated images for each object through a working database. The national collection has been almost 200 years in the making, and we recognise that thinking about collecting and collections has evolved over this time and continues to evolve. As a result, some of our records may contain language and views that we now consider offensive and unacceptable, for example, reflecting racist attitudes. We are committed to addressing these issues, and to reviewing and updating our records accordingly. Working with researchers, communities and academic partners we are learning more about the stories behind objects, and we are committed to sharing these with our audiences. We welcome feedback.
