A dish with outcurved sides and a flat base, as well as an outflaring everted rim with a rounded lip. The rim begins to flare by 3.3 cm up the wall of the vessel, and becomes everted at a height of 4.6 cm. The paste and color attributes fall within Sierra Red, although the slip was probably exposed to fire. It is a darker yellowish red (5YR 4/6). The diameter of the base is 21 cm.
