In the later phase, besides the ceramics of the earlier phase, two industries—the black-and-red and dull-red wares—appeared; the former with a solitary white-painted specimen was confined to burials and seems to be turned on slow wheel. The dull-red ware was the major industry now. Paintings were executed before, firing, the pigments used being black and violet. The designs comprised horizontal and curvilinear bands. There was no deviation in the surface treatment. The representative shapes were the globular pot, jar, spouted vessel, basin, etc. Shapes in the black-and-red ware were the bowl and dish. Paintings in white on the inner side of the vessel consisted of vertical strokes.
