- Description
- Fragment of floor of Black on Red shallow dish with no original edges preserved. Crosshatched rectangles in outer (surviving) register. These are made by a six-pointed multiple brush, with two additional lines added separately for the lowest two horizontal strokes; the vertical strokes are made by the same six-headed brush. The next register has a thick wavy line; and toward the center, crosshatched squares, these made by the same six-pointed multiple brush (but without the two added lines). Each register is separated by a thick line. Strong red slip over entire bowl, inside and out; and black glaze was strong too, but partially discolored to greenish-yellow.
