This is a hand-built red earthenware lenticular pot with a large flared trumpet shaped mouth. It has a burnished surface and may have been a burial ware.Bronze age pottery excavated from Ban Prasat and Ban Lum Khao in the Phimai area of Nakhon Ratchasima province, seems to play an important part in the agricultural societies of that time. Ban Prasat burials date from around 800 BC and were full of pottery, shells, marble bracelets, cattle and pig remains, and bronze axe casting moulds. The proximity to rivers and streams suggests wet rice cultivation. Ban lum Khao, 5 kms from Ban Prasat also revealed many pottery vessels amongst graves laid out similarly in rows.
