Description

This gray ware ceramic bowl is made of fine gray paste with slight granulation. It is the shape of a large cup. The base is a slightly offset disk and the body expands outward before curving inward at the shoulder; the neck curves outward slightly. The handle is a one-finger circle and the rim is almost pointed. It was made on a wheel and has a polished surface. The external lower body has a slight fluted decoration possibly made by finger impressions.
