Coarse red ware is second to the Jorwe Ware in bulk. The shapes are: the spherical pot; bowl with short channel-spout; convex-sided bowl; storage jar; and dough plate. The decorations are pinched and punctured applied bands, incised lines and human figures. Red/grey ware is represented by utilitarian pots, such as: the globular pot with wide mouth useful as a cooking pot; convex-sided bowl; lid with knobbed handle; globular pot; bowl with tubular spout; dough plate; *kuṇḍā*; boat-shaped lamp; lamp with a handle; and square lamp-on-stand. The globular pot sometimes bears post-firing painting with red ochre on the rim and is decorated with finger-tip depressions and cuts on applied bands.
