Description: Deep bowl. Flaring, straight rim with slightly inward-thickened, rounded lip and tubular double fold in wall just below. Conical upper body. Syro-Palestinian product. Similar to KM430 but the rim diameter and shape of the lip prove that they are separate vessels.
Preservation description: One fragment preserves small part of rim and upper body. Very slight pitting; slight silver iridescence.
