The present bowl is masterfully potted with a generous belly rising from a proportionately small foot, creating a pleasing silhouette. The exterior is adorned with an attractive band of repeating patterns consisting of circles and leaf-like patterns, occasionally accentuated by dots and straight lines, all boldly painted in contrasting colours of dark brown and chalky white.
