The burnished red ware consists of the straight-sided deep and shallow bowl; jar; small vase; \*hāṇḍī\*; and basin. The burnished black ware has the bowl alone. The spouted bowl is shared by corded and burnished wares. The pottery is devoid of painting. Decoration is confined to corded patterns and incised and applied designs. The incised motifs consist of criss-cross, zigzag and oblique, horizontal or vertical parallel lines. The thumb impression or criss-cross lines constitute the applied pattern. Decoration by finger-imprints directly on the outer surface of pots has also been found on a few pieces. - [Previous: v1.c16.s1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s1.2) - [Next: v1.c16.s1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s1.4) - [Up: v1.c16.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s1.3) · Pramāṇa
