Description

Deep bowl or dish with low flaring foot. Exterior: a series of standing concentric semicircles on a line. Interior, two thick lines with a series of evenly spaced crosshatched squares composed of thick lines that sometimes obscure the reserved little squares within the crosshatching. This motif of crosshatched squares within two lines repeats a second time, with a heavily abraded additional line toward the center. Part of a cache with HoB 375, HoB 376, and HoB 377.

Analyzed by M. Kerschner (sample Sard 47).
