Description

A rounded bowl with a wide body and a slightly everted rim, shown alone on a pale surface with a soft shadow beneath it. The dark surface has lighter patches, and bands of parallel lines run around the upper body, with large chevron and diagonal hatched patterns across the lower body. The bowl is broken and mended, with cracks running down the sides and across the base.
