Outcurved sides characterize this flat-bottomed bowl (22 cm diameter) with an everted rim and rounded lip. The vessel is slipped on both the interior and exterior surfaces, but exhibits differential firing patterns on the outside and crazing on the inside. The rim begins 6 cm up the vessel wall. This bowl was inverted and placed over the skull of an adult.

Bowl with outcurved sides, rounded lip, and a flat base. The everted lip has a depression in it, which creates a "gutter" effect. Though fairly eroded, the vessel's remaining slip is a reddish yellow (5YR 6/6). Fire clouding is present on the exterior and is black (7.5YR 5/0). The diameter of the base is 13.8 cm. The vessel was positioned over the deceased's left shoulder. An associated vessel (V# 053) was inverted over the skull.
