each side of the bowl between the handles a pair of flying birds facing each other,
a red spot on the body, the wings and tail with linear decoration; between them
a vertical band of linear decoration (reversing chevrons) and linear ornaments
including a spiral in the field; bars on the handles, a running loop pattern over
the handles, and bars on the upper edge; broad bands of thin glaze on the slop-
