Description

A footed bowl with a flaring rim and a single loop handle on the right side, photographed against a plain light backdrop on a card mount. The upper zone has vertical stripes and stylised flower panels, above a band of twisted ornament. The lower body carries large bird-like motifs with long necks, with cross-like marks and fine horizontal lines near the base; the short stem and wide foot show some cracks.
