Description:
Plate with a ring base and thickened rim on the outside. Red slip on the front of the piece and white slip (except the base) on the back, where the decoration was applied and organized into bands of red and purple in four panels. The designs are geometric with simple "yc" spirals and double rectilinear spirals. This variety of plate is exclusive to funerary deposits and was used to cover the bodies. They have only been found in late tombs.
