Core-formed blue bowl with incised decoration. The body of the bowl is slightly asymmetrical. It is decorated with incised lines such as diagonal, hatched, vertical and horizontal patterns. The top of the bowl has two intentional holes likely meant for the attachment of a handle or as a way to fix the lid to the top. The condition is good with some minor signs of wear and scratches. The body does have some visible, repaired cracks.
