- Description
- Hemispherical bowl with in-turned rim. Wall thickest below rim. Two grooves just above widest point separate outer face of rim from body and sit just above a ovolo band with dots below. Beneath is wide band with well-executed garland of bell and trilobe flowers connected by flowing fine tendrils. Below garland is row of small dots separating middle band from turn to base; no elements of any decorative scheme in that zone extant.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Light red fabric with occasional round small light inclusions. Surface thinly slipped, dull red.
- Preservation comment
- Two joining sherds preserve ca. 28% of rim and upper part of wall. Thin slip is variably preserved; a dark patch on exterior may well be later accretion. Very slight, sparse abrasion; worn breaks.
