Description

A footed bowl with a wide, slightly flaring mouth, a rounded body and a tall short stem on a flat circular foot. Two small handles project from the left side of the rim, which is chipped at the upper left, and the dark surface shows faint banded markings on the body. The vessel stands on a pale surface with scattered specks of soil, and a printed number label sits in the lower right corner.
