Small bowl found in a Middle Kerma burial at Sai. Its shape is hemispherical with a restricted mouth and a simple lip. Both surfaces have been smoothened. The exterior surface bear a complex decorative pattern: a series of triangles filled with horizontal lines, impressed using a roller-stamping method. The depressions are filled with a white paste. A specimen of this type of vessel is generally placed in the most important burials of the Middle Kerma period. It is derived from well-known vessels ot the Old Kerma and early C-Group periods. During the Middle Kerma, they are slightly cruder in manufacture, as with this particular example.

Petit bol retrouvé dans une tombe du Kerma Moyen de Sai. La forme est hémisphérique avec une ouverture resserrée et une lèvre simple. Les surfaces sont lissées. L'extérieur est couvert d'un décor complexe: un réseau de triangles incisés emplis de hachures horizontales imprimées à la molette. Les creux ont été emplis de pâte blanche. Un exemplaire de ce type est généralement déposé dans les plus importantes des sépultures du Kerma Moyen. Il découle des vases bien connus du Kerma Ancien et du Groupe C ancien. Au Kerma Moyen, ils sont plus grossiers comme l'exemple présent.
