Description

A dark, deep bowl seen from the side against a pale grey backdrop. Its surface carries incised lines: bands of parallel grooves near the rim, a row of short hatched strokes, chevrons across the middle, and a round lug on the upper right. The surface shows some lighter wear and small marks, but the form is clear.
