The medium-high, cylindrical foot tapers slightly towards the bowl. The bowl, in the preserved part, is hemispherical. The top of the foot, the foot, and the upper parts of the bowl are covered with a glossy varnish; remaining parts are clay-colored. The outer surface of the bowl is decorated with four horizontally arranged thin lines in light brown. The interior of the bowl is not smoothed, with visible traces of turning. The outer part of the foot is covered with matte varnish. Varnish color: 10 YR 2/1 black Ornament color: 2.5 YR 4/3 reddish brown; 2.5 YR 4/6 red Color of clay: 5 YR 6/6 reddish yellow Attributed to Asia Minor possibly Lydia; lydion type, vessel.
