Bowl with outcurved sides, rounded lip, and a flat base. The everted lip has a depression in it, which creates a "gutter" effect. Though fairly eroded, the vessel's remaining slip is a reddish yellow (5YR 6/6). Fire clouding is present on the exterior and is black (7.5YR 5/0). The diameter of the base is 13.8 cm. The vessel was positioned over the deceased's left shoulder. An associated vessel (V# 053) was inverted over the skull.
