DescriptionThis object is an unburnished earthenware bowl comprised of heat-resistant micaceous clay. The bowl has a narrow, circular base with a shallow punt at the center. The width of the object increases towards the top of the object, where the edges of the object's mouth have been curved inward. Short diagonal marks in relief line the rim of the bowl. Small areas across the object have been blackened due to exposure to heat. Extremely small fragments of reflective mica are visible from within the clay material.
