Comments

This is the rim of a large, very well made unrestricted bowl that may have originally been supported on a pedestal base. The interior is undecorated, while the lip has an inner row of stamped circles (A417), and an outer lip motif of carved holes and notches alternating with dentate stamped lines, filled in with lime. On the exterior, the decoration begins with M1-1, followed by zone marker RZ4D-5R-2, below which is motif PK294, a highly stylized anthropomorphic design consisting of almond-shaped eyes alternating between stylized noses. The dentate stamping exhibits a high degree of technical skill.
