  [1] Object file.

  Collected while Osborne and Gratia Hauge were living in Saigon (1972 or 1973-1975), most likely from a Vietnamese military officer stationed in the Mekong delta who recovered pots from the river and brought them to the Hauges on his trips to Saigon.

  A note in Gratia Hauge's handwriting attached to the base suggests the piece was acquired on 9 June 1974.
