Comments
An incised bowl with outcurved sides, an everted rim, and a rounded lip. In comparison with other Guitara vessels from K'axob, this one was not skillfully made; the modeled and incised bands traced before firing the vessel do not run perfectly horizontally. The central band measures 3 cm in width, the one near the base 1.6 cm in width, and the one formed between the flaring of the rim and the central band measures 3 cm. The potter tried to drill in several places near the rim, but did not complete the process. Drilling proceeded from both the exterior and the interior sides in pairs, but some holes never punctured the vessel.
