Stoneware "Bellarmine" jug. 1102 grams, 9" tall and 6" in diameter. At first glance this appears to be an intact jar, but of you look closely you can see that it must have broken at the time of sinking but stayed together in its proper shape and then encrusted over the breaks, making for a fascinating artifact which is otherwise intact (just a few chips missing from the break), typically brown in color with bearded face on the neck opposite the handle and ornamental seal on the bulbous body, flat base, the white and pink encrustation quite attractive. Recovered from: Sacramento, sunk in 1668 off the Bay of All Saints, Bahia, Brazil.
