A flanged bowl with a rounded base, flared sides, a direct rim, and rounded lip. The thickness of the walls is 0.5 cm. The paste has a fine texture and finely crushed calcite shows through the surface. The color of the paste is yellowish red (5YR 5/6). These surfaces are smoothed and covered with a yellowish red (5YR 7/8) slip color. The base of the vessel is unslipped and bears evidence of smoothing marks. The decoration on the exterior consists of red (2.5YR 5/8) or yellowish red (5YR 7/8) bands near the rim. Below these are red (10R 4/3) bands of 1.5 cm width. Vertical lines run from these horizontal bands down to the flange in a weak red (10R 4/3) color. On the flange, red (7.5R 4/8) dots were painted and encircled by "U"-shaped red (10R 4/3) motifs. On the interior, there is a red (7.5R 4/8) band near the rim that measures 1.5 cm in width. A second band in a weak red (10R 4/3) color runs beneath the first and is 0.5 cm in width. Fugitive interior paint seems to depict a seated figure wearing some sort of bird mask or headdress. Rays swirling around the interior could represent a large shell motif, from which the figure is emerging.
