Comments
This bowl with outcurved wall, everted rim with rounded lip has an eyebrow motif incised on the rim. There are 10 eyebrow motifs on rim sherds belonging to this vessel, but there were probably 11 prefired incisions with an average spacing of 4.5 to 5.5 cm. The paste has a fine compact texture and contains probable carbonate particles. Color of the paste is reddish yellow (5YR 6/8). The core has a width of 0.4 cm and a very dark gray (7.5YR 3/0) or black (7.5Y 2/0) color. Slip is a light red (10R 4/0, 10R 5/8). Rim everts 3 cm. The half circles are very similar to the unusual decoration reported for this variety by R.E.W. Adams at the site of Altar de Sacrificios.
