content: The object is a small bowl that had been repaired previously. The bowl was probably made by putting together at least two different bowls that have similar shape and curvature. There is a blue stripe on the rim and the thickness of the stripe is different between the larger portion and the smaller bowl fragment. The one on the smaller part is thicker. The larger section is decorated with three blue stripes on the interior of the bowl and one blue stripe on the exterior. The smaller one is decorated with two thick stripes on the interior and one on the exterior. There are three paper labels on the bottom of the base that say "Near Eastern Pottery No. 71", "2085", and "SI 1443" respectively.
