Comments

This relatively thin-walled, well fired flat bottom dish exhibits considerable technical skill in manufacture, yet is very sloppily decorated with coarse dentate stamping. The interior is not decorated, while the lip has a row of stamped circles (motif A417) along the inner edge, and motif PK443 involving cutouts and stamped lines along the outer edge. On the exterior the decoration begins with motif A1, followed by zone marker RZ4D-3R-2. The main motif (PK444) is an undulating line of stamped circles bounded by zone marking, and connecting to raised appliqué nubbins encircled by zone marking. Motif A441 runs along the base of the rim.
