This earthenware, hand-built dish has an everted rim and a tall foot. It is burnished all around except for the foot, which is cord-marked.Gua Cha is a rock shelter beneath a limestone massif. It is believed that the rock shelter was used exclusively for burial rather than habitation. The presence of early burial pottery is a strong indicator that a possible shift in lifestyle had taken place in riverine locations adjacent to the caves.
