- Description
Nearly whole Black on Red shallow bowl with nearly complete profile. Made of buff fabric. One small horizontal loop handle is close to the rim. Interior is decorated with a series of evenly spaced crosshatched squares. Band with concentric pendent semicircles below. Center is worn. Exterior has concentric pendent semicircles below the rim. Exterior and interior are smoothed and are heavily burned, particularly around the edges. Since the center is not burned, the pot must have broken and the pieces scattered before burning.
Analyzed by M. Kerschner (sample Sard 46).
