- Description
Large, shallow stemmed dish. Wide ledge rim with slightly rounded lip. Stemmed base with flaring ring foot. A black band marks the inner and outer limits of the ledge rim. Between these bands, a series of crosshatched squares that alternate with reserved squares. A black line within the ledge rim, and then the same crosshatched squares motif repeats within the dish for at least two registers, although the surface is extremely worn. Exterior is undecorated. Both interior and exterior are polished. Similar to "PC 26".
The reconstruction makes the pot look more irregular than it was originally.
