Description

Deep bowl. Flaring, straight rim with inward curving, rounded lip and tubular double fold in wall just below. Conical upper body. Syro-Palestinian product. Similar to KM442 but rim diameter and shape of lip prove they are separate vessels.

Preservation description

One fragment preserves small part of rim and upper body. Slight abrasion and slight pitting; slight white enamel flaking.
