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.

Extended adult males 1-25 (zones 99 and 115) and 1-29 (zone 115a) were placed in the same pit, though in different interment episodes. They are accompanied by vessels 013 and 014, which display the earliest recovered examples of the cross motif.
