A wide shallow bowl that is 3-rod coiled with five dark triangles on the bottom, pointed toward the center and with a double zig zag band near the bottom of the sides of the bowl. The sides of the bowl have inverted "V" shapes of solid triangles directed downward; the "V" repeats three times. There are two oblique zigzags and one oblique line of triangles. The five dark triangles in the bottom create a five pointed star out of the negative space.
The inside is darkened by a number of factors, mentioned in the condition report.
