(iii) Early medieval period. The pottery shape, especially the utilitarian types of the preceding period, survived with or without modifications. Of the distinct ceramic types mention may be made of the shallow bowl with knife-edged rim, lipped jug, pot with knuckle-like marks, ring-stand and pedestalled cup or bowl used as incense-burner [12.2]. The designs consist of wavy bands, both angular and without angularity, lattice patterns, hatched triangles, ladder motifs, multiple semicirclets, etc., which are either incised or stamped.
