Comments

The oval bowl, probably used as a serving dish, has low sides capped by a thick beaded rim.  The bowl has mottled brown glaze on the inside and outside surfaces.

The bowl is very similar in shape and size to accession no. 1959.4153, but the glaze mottling and color of brown is strikingly different.
