Flaring bowl decorated with ten beans. Height 6.8 cm.; diameter 13.1 cm. Painted in five colors. The parts of the beans alternate in purple and orange. Outlining is in black and the background is white. The rim band is purple and the interior and exterior bottom are red. There appears to be some sort of "ghost" outline inside the regular outline. A small bean is squeezed in to keep the alternation even. One small area has been repainted. Illustrated by Kroeber and Strong, 1924, Plate 26c.
