Description
Fragment of bowl or dish with rounded rim. A band with pendent semicircles runs along the rim on the exterior. One of these has a thick line where the brush got out of control. Below the slight carination, a band with concentric semicircles resting upon it. Semicircles are done with a four-tipped multiple brush, drawn without a compass, and with a short line in the center (rather than the usual dot) of each. Both exterior and interior are polished.
