Description

A round, shallow vessel photographed from above on a pale background, with a raised central boss ringed by concentric circles. Two loop handles project from opposite sides of the body. Dark painted bands divide the outer surface into radiating panels filled with hatching, zigzags and chevrons, and the surface shows some wear and scattered marks.
