Fragment of a ceramic bowl. About one quarter of the base and the wall are still intact which makes it possible to make out the original shape of the vessel. The base has a large footring, the rim is slightly outward turned. The brown glaze does not cover the whole vessel but goes close to the footring on the outside and close to the base on the inside.
