Sherd from a lovely Old Kerma ceramic vessel: a hemispherical bow with an inward folded lip of fine red clay with a black rim. The rim and the inside have been blackned by soot and are very shiny. The surface has been burnished, probably with a pebble, giving it the rippled effect so commonly found on A-Group vessels. It was covered with a slip and polished. The decoration is very common: a double zigzag under the lip.

Tesson provenant d'une belle céramique du Kerma Ancien: un bol à la panse hémisphérique et à la lèvre remplie à l'intérieur et refermée. La pâte fine, rouge à bord noir. Le bord et l'intérieur ont été enfumés et sont très brillants. La surface a été polie, peut-être avec un galet, ce qui lui donne cet aspect ridé que l'on rencontre fréquemment au Groupe A. Elle a été couverte d'un engobe et lustrée. Le décor est très fréquent: une ligne double de zigzags sous la lèvre.
