Steep longitudinal and sloping transverse walls on the inside. There are nine string guide perforations on each of the protruding narrow sides. The string cord [is] only preserved in fragments. One end is tied to a small crosspiece below an outer perforation. Above one of four bottom perforations [is] a small metal plate lying on the bottom of the bowl. A piece of wire anchored in the walls and hung with horn rings and small sheet metal cylinders crosses the width of the bowl opening halfway up. Incised patterns [are] on the underside of the bowl.
