Sherd of a typical Old Kerma bowl. The clay is very fine and black. The surfaces have been polished brick-red outside and beige inside. There is a carefully executed incised decoration below the lip consisting of alternating horizontal lines and diamonds filled with hatching. A carinated bowl with restricted mouth, this beautiful vessel is characteristic of the Old Kerma period.
