Description

A shallow bowl with a wide flaring rim and two small loop handles below the rim, photographed from above at a steep angle against a plain grey backdrop. Dark radiating bands of diamond-lattice ornament run up the interior wall between pale stripes, and the lower body has concentric bands above a rosette pattern on the base. The surface shows small losses and wear, mainly at the rim.
