Discussion/Acknowledgements

Three stamped palmettes in centre.

Half of the bowl was preserved. Five more bowls were found. At Tebtynis the shape occurs in red and black fabrics in contexts from the second half of the third to the beginning of the second centuries BCE (Ballet and Południkiewicz 2012: 45-48, Pls. 8:100-10; 9:110-121; in the Theban region PBW bowls are particularly typical of the third-second centuries BCE (Masson 2016: 152, Fig.6:1).
