Comments

A tetrapod dish with flared sides, direct rim, and rounded lip. The mammiform feet are hollow with a flat nubbin base. The feet are approximately 9 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter, while the nubbins have a diameter of 2 cm. Each foot has 3 slots (4.5 cm long and 1 cm wide). The height of the dish itself is 4.5 cm at its maximum, with walls of 3.3 cm above the feet. The vessel and feet are slipped in red (2.5YR 5/8). The interior is decorated with three circumferential lines. The first line at the rim is red (10R 4/8) and measures 0.5 cm in width. The other two are narrower bands (0.3 cm) of very dark brown (10YR 2/2). The exterior is decorated with bands of the same color. Wide circumferential strips of red extend around the rim and base of the wall. Within these, thin brown lines demarcate a 2-cm wide band around the vessel. This band is broken up by vertical groupings of 5 thick brown lines which alternate with rectangles of unaltered slip.
