A cylinder that has slightly incurving walls and an everted rim with a direct rounded lip. Vertical gadroons decorate the body but terminate 4 cm below the rim. Each gadroon is 3 cm in width. Two circumferential lines form a 2-cm wide band beneath the rim. Within this band, incised elements create an open chevron design. The vessel's slip, while damaged, appears as an orange-red (2.5YR 5/8) on the exterior and interior. Fire clouding is present on the exterior. The external lip exhibits a brown (5YR 4/6) coloration and the general paste color is yellow (10YR 7/6). The paste has large inclusions and a strong brown (7.5YR 4/8) core. The base diameter is 15 cm.
