Rim section of a handmade Pan-grave bowl comprised of two ceramic sherds. The bowl sherd has a stepped rim which is burnished in black, as is its interior surface. The exterior is burnished red. Modern writing on its exterior states that it is a Pan-grave sherd from Balabish, but any possible further location within the site is illegible.

Notes: The distinctive ceramics of the Pan-grave culture are evident in sherds ECM 1946 and ECM 1947: a red polished exterior with blackened rims and burnished black interiors. Closed-form vessels found in Pan-grave burials are often Egyptian wares and thus may relate to some form of economic relationship between the two populations (the Egyptians and Pan-grave peoples).
