Comments

This relatively small, thin-walled, flat-bottom dish with a strongly outcurved rim was low-fired, and the execution of the dentate stamping is also fairly crudely executed, indicating that the potter lacked the level of skill seen in other vessels at ECA. The interior lacks decoration. On the exterior the decoration begins with motif A1, followed by zone marker RZ4D-3R-2, then the main motif PK110, a series of alternating “dumbbell” type designs. Along the bottom of the rim is zone marker RD4D-2-1 and a row of motif A51-3.
