This dish is similar to Vessel 014. Walls are outcurving with a slightly everted rim and rounded lip. Two intentional holes were drilled into the wall of the dish. These holes caused uneven breakage. A cross motif was slipped on the base of the vessel. Slip is red (10R 4/8). The paste has few inclusions and is yellowish red (5YR 5/6) with a dark gray (5YR 4/1) core. The base is slightly incurved and measures 12 cm in diameter. The vessel was found in close proximity to the skull of an adult male.
