Clay bowl

Bowl with a curved base and convex wall. The object has a slightly recessed rim with a rounded lip. It has been smoothed, slurried, primed and painted on both sides. The paint and primer are partially eroded. The vessel has a break and a chipped rim. The ceramic was primed twice. Its exterior has a white-yellowish base colour, which is painted red and black. There are red wavy lines running around the high and low wall sections. The central section of the vessel wall is decorated with four black lines running around it. The decoration is bordered by a black band on the lower rim and a black line running around the base. The inside of the object has a red covering colour applied to a white-yellowish background. Cultural significance: the mould inventory of this type mainly comprises jugs and figurative vessels. The determination of its exact date requires further documentation. (Künne 2004)
