Description

A deep bowl with a flared rim and a short, narrow footed base is shown in side view against a pale background. Horizontal bands of lines run around the body, and between them diamond and triangular panels are filled with parallel hatching. The surface appears dark, with the decoration standing out in lighter lines, and the foot shows some wear along its edge.
