Outcurved sides characterize this flat-bottomed bowl (22 cm diameter) with an everted rim and rounded lip. The vessel is slipped on both the interior and exterior surfaces, but exhibits differential firing patterns on the outside and crazing on the inside. The rim begins 6 cm up the vessel wall. This bowl was inverted and placed over the skull of an adult.
