Comments
This flared dish has an everted rim and an almost horizontal and rounded lip. The base is slightly incurved and has a diameter of 21.5 cm. The form of this bowl is closely related to Mamom tradition. The vessel was decorated with two wavy lines on the interior walls. This decoration, although similar in appearance to resist treatment, was obtained through firing. The dish, along with an inverted bowl, was inverted over the skull of an extended interment.
