Description

Broken, globular with fine painted band below rim.

Bowl with an ovate body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a band of black around the body with a smaller band of geometric decoration in white, black, and red. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a smoothed finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "806."
