Fiziksel açıklama
Bowl of red earthenware with decoration cut through white slip under a transparent green glaze. In the shape of a broad cone, with the lip curved inwards and carved foot ring. Inside is decorated with four roundels containing figures of goats standing to the left, with stylised leaves in the field, and the background being cut away. In the middle is a plain dark disk caused by the downward flow of the glaze. Between the roundels are cut single leaves and round them are pairs of parallel incised lines. The border inside the lip consists of scrawled loops between two pairs of parallel incised lines. Outside, the glaze and slip cease just below the bulge of the lip.
