This bowl exhibits incurved-recurved sides. Recurving begins 3 cm below the rim. Base is slightly rounded. Texture of the paste is fine and is a reddish yellow (7.5YR 6/6) color. There was no core formation. It is covered with an orange or red (2.5YR 4/8) slip, but also has a pinkish gray (7.5YR 7/2 or 7.5YR 7/3) under-slip. The rim is decorated with red spots, which create separate domains of color. Red slipped trefoil decorations were added to the interior bottom of the vessel and also to the walls. Areas of color that are not distinguishable in form are also found on the exterior. Incisions include pre-fired, broad, round bottomed lines measuring 0.3 to 0.4 cm in width. A second line is 1.2 cm from the first one. A third line starts 1.2 cm from the second one, almost at the beginning of the recurved sides.
