Description

A dark pottery vessel with a wide bowl on a tall, tapering stem that widens to a flared foot, shown against a pale grey backdrop. Several upright openings and small projections rise from the rim, and the bowl and stem are decorated with incised hatched bands and zigzag lines. The surface is worn in places, with pale patches near the foot and along the bowl edge.
