Fabric B includes vessels made carefully, generally on the wheel. Comparatively heavy and thick in section and dull red in colour, the pots—usually the storage jar—are slipped up to the shoulder and rusticated below, i.e., the lower surface is first covered with a clayey solution, often mixed with sand, and, while wet, roughened by horizontal wavy combings or by tortoise-shell or dendritic impression. The pots bear faunal and floral representations.
