This is recognized by the occurrence of the typical Russet-coated Painted Ware, the commonest types being the straight-sided bowl and the one with beaked rim. The paintings in lime or kaolin coated with a russet-coloured slip are mostly geometric and linear consisting of criss-cross, radiating lines ending in pellets, dotted lines, hatched triangles, etc. Along with this ware are also found: a fine reddish-buff ware made on fast wheel with smooth fine red slip; coarse dull-red ware, also wheel-turned, mostly without polish or slip but not without exceptions; and sparse black and grey wares. The larger vessels in red ware are handmade. At a later level the Rouletted Ware \[11.21\] occurs though in the earlier levels dish forms akin to those in the Rouletted Ware are found. The forms in these wares are the conical open-mouthed vessel with disc bases, shallow dish with flanged waist, spout and handle. - [Previous: v2.c30.138](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30.138) - [Next: v2.c30.140](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30.140) - [Up: v2.c30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30.139](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30.139) · Pramāṇa
