This bowl has incurved walls, a direct rim, and a slightly squared lip. The vessel is decorated with four circumferential grooves on the upper part of the body. Each groove is of variable width (0.5-0.75 cm) and the uppermost one helps to form the rim. Two strap handles attach to the rim and measure 3 cm in length. The slip is eroded and found only on the exterior, as is fire clouding. The base is rounded and curves up to a maximum vessel diameter of 22 cm. The walls vary in thickness between 0.3-0.7 cm. The vessel was found in an inverted position.
