Comments

This thick-walled, well-fired bowl has a distinctive notched lip, possibly designed to fit a lid to it. The upper edge of the lip is decorated with stamped lozenges (motif GS33) while the side of the notch has motif GS506 of slanting dentate-stamped lines. The lower edge of the notched lip has small depressions probably made with a fingernail (RG58). Below this is zone marker RZ4D-5R-1 followed by the main motif (PK477), a variant of the zigzag design. The lower boundary of PK477 is defined by zone marker RZ4D-4-1.
