Brownware bowl with inclining sides and rounded gambrel to shallow base with incised and painted decoration around the exterior sides. There is a band of incised panels with double line single step diagonals just below the rim, alternating orange, grey, and faded yellow (?). There are four Maltese-cross-like motifs consisting of double reed stamped circles and four radiating whisker elements below the band on one side of the bowl, and an undecorated inter-space on the other. The bowl has been completely broken and reconstructed, and there are small pieces missing.
