ribbed by means of four carved and undercut decorative
bands between which is a single band of cord-pattern;
the lower shoulder similarly ribbed, and with a corded
band; the body unglazed, with a dark-red biscuit, and a
calcareous splash on the shoulder. Given by the Government
of Cambodia, and stated to have come from the west

complete, appears in Silice pl 11, No. 4, from Tréang, Takeo.”
