Description

A shallow bowl with a rounded body and a slightly flaring rim, shown from the side on a pale surface. The outer wall carries a band of dark painted decoration: hatched triangles and zigzag motifs between vertical lines. The clay surface is mottled and worn in places, and the base casts a soft shadow on the background.
