Bowl

Hemispherical. With circle and dot impressions on beveled rim. Pottery.

Bowl with a globular body, no neck/collar, beveled, no handles, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. There is a section (1/4 of circumference) of the rim where the lip slopes down, possibly to pour. There are repeated incised circles with punctate dots inside on the top surface of the rim. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a burnished finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. Evidence of usewear includes abrasion and scratches on the interior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2123."
