Description

A pottery bowl with a wide, shallow upper part, a flared rim and two horizontal lugs projecting from the shoulder, shown in side view against a pale background. The body narrows toward the base and carries dark horizontal painted bands alternating with pale clay, with a patch of paint near the bottom. The clay surface is speckled and pitted, and the rim edge shows some wear.
