This large bowl with a pedestal is unusually well preserved. The edge of the mouth is chamfered with a 0.6cm-wide bevel, and there is a single protruding band near the inner bottom. The pedestal has a high, broad base with a single protruding band slightly below the center, above which there are eleven decorative holes. It is made of coarse clay with a slightly sandy texture and is extremely well finished, with a grayish-yellow color. The provenance is unknown.
