Bowl of a classical shape with rounded bottom and slightly restricted mouth. Both surfaces are polished. The firing process and oxidation was not fully achieved, which resulted in the surface varying in colour from orange-beige to dark grey. The vase is entirely covered with shallow incisions: a criss-cross pattern at the bottom and herringbone pattern on the body. Both this vessel shape and this type of decoration were favoured by Nubian people during the first half of the second millennium B.C.

Bol de forme classique au fond arrondi et à l'ouverture légèrement resserrée. Les surfaces sont lissées. La cuisson et l'oxydation ont été peu poussées, si bien que la couleur de la surface varie du beige orangé au gris foncé. Le vase est entièrement couvert d'un décor incisé peu appuyé: des croissillons sur le fond et des arêtes de poisson sur la panse. La forme comme le décor étaient affectionnés par les populations nubiennes durant la première moitié du deuxième millénaire avant J.C.
