Description

Subject Matter:

This kind of color and shape is very rare. There is a crack on the rim. This part seems to be restored.

Physical Description:

It has a outward-turned rim. The side of the body is becoming narrow in the base. The bottem is flat.

This yellowish brown, bowl-shaped, low-fired earthenware vessel is made from fine clay mixed with fine sand particles. It has no neck. The mouth is slightly everted while the rim is generally flat and features some grooves. The body is widest towards the upper-middle section, and the flat base is rounded where it joins the body. Parts of the vessel feature a paddled pattern which suggests that the surface was first paddled and then smoothed with water on a rotary device.
