A squat, rounded dark brown bowl tapers at the rim, its surface a fine, dense weave. Two wide, cream-colored zigzag bands encircle the vessel, each containing a sequence of dark brown cross motifs. A thin, dark braided line bisects the bowl horizontally through the center. The geometric patterns repeat with precise symmetry, contrasting the light-colored bands against the dark textured body.
