Description

Bowl made of light-colored stone-polished clay that has been burned on the entire inside of the bowl and over more than half of the outside. If looked at sideways, the bowl would appear as an octagon, with top and bottom surfaces elongated (the bowl is wider than it is high). On the lower third of the bowl's outside is pressed a row of small oval shapes all around the bowl. No spaces between then.

Height 7.2 cm
Width 10.8 cm
Credit Line Bequest of Samuel Pennypacker, 1970
