An Actuncan polychrome bowl that remains whole, though cracks have almost fissured through the vessel. The bowl has round sides, a ring base, and a direct rim with a rounded lip. The base has a diameter of 12 cm. Overall, the interior and exterior of the vessel is slipped in a light red (2.5YR 6/8) color, which provides the base coat. Decoration consists of a circumferential band near the rim in a weak red (10R 5/4) color: 0.8-cm wide on the interior, 1.5-cm on the exterior. Motifs appear as angular, serpentine scroll designs in the same color. The bowl was inverted over the skull.
