It is a bowl, with a convex body and a very slightly retracted rim. The lip is flattened slightly oblique-internal. It measures 7.7 cm in height, 12.6 cm in diameter at the opening and 4.3 cm in diameter at the base. It is not decorated. The paste, well fired, is bistre and brown. Non-plastic elements are few and fine (around 0.5 mm). Some coarser inclusions are also visible (up to 2 mm). The external surface is carefully smoothed. Inside, one can distinguish a first upper zone well smoothed, from a second lower one visibly eaten by a particular content.
