Comments

This flat bottom dish is well made, with unusually thin walls and finely executed decoration. The interior surface is undecorated and slightly eroded. The lip is decorated with motif RG59, triangular cutout notches. On the exterior the decoration begins with motif A1, followed by zone marker RZ4D-4R-2. There are two different main motifs, separated by a vertical dentate stamped line. Motif PK77 is of the zigzag type, with undulating row of stamped circles along the bottom. Motif PK83 consists of several rows of parallel wavy lines made by fine incising rather than dentate stamping. Along the base of the rim beneath both main motifs is zone marker RZ4D-3-2, and then GS498, alternating triangular cutouts with dentate stamped lines.
