Round, wide-mouthed bowl. Bowl flares slightly out from the rim and narrows sharply at the halfway point toward a small round base. The outside surface is a light cream colour, covered in a finely etched pattern outlined with blue and red linear figures. Both the top rim and the halfway point of the bowl are ringed with a thick dark brown line. The interior of the bowl is painted brown and the base is painted red. Both inside and outside have a shiny glaze.
