Description of Designated List Category Subject to Import Restrictions
The vessels of this culture display varying slips in differing tones from brown to black with incised decoration in lines, triangles and dots. Others come in negative resist black paint on red with geometric motifs. A characteristic of the pottery forms is the presence of an everted border inclined downwards. Example: Globular, semi-globular, sub globular earthen bowls, keel-shaped with straight, everted, or slightly everted border. (Height: varies between 8 and 20 cm., Diameter: varies between 10 and 30 cm.) This is an example of a very common form.
