Comments

This well-fired bowl (which may originally have been supported on a pedestal) has an elaborately decorated lip with motif PK260, a variant of the twin long-beaked bird made by cutouts and dentate stamping. On the exterior, the decoration begins with motif Al03-2, followed by zone marker RZ4D-4R-2, below which is then the main motif PK218. Although this motif appears to be mere geometric, it likely is a stylized and simplified face motif.
