Description
Bowl. Four palmette stamps extant in circle around center of floor. At least five interlocking circular grooves create nexus near center of floor and overlap palmettes; these circles are not spaced perfectly evenly, nor equally deeply incised, but they are in approximate relation to each other and if fully preserved likely created a somewhat regular pattern of hoops.
Preservation comment
One sherd preserves ca. 50% of base. Slip somewhat dull but in general well preserved on extant surfaces; slight, sparse abrasion and pitting, chipping around edges; worn breaks; rare specks of encrustation.
