Description

A shallow circular dish with two small loop handles projecting from opposite sides of the rim. The surface is painted with radiating wedge-shaped bands, hatched and chequered panels, a zigzag border near the rim and concentric rings around a central boss. A crack runs across the rim at the top and across the centre, and the dish stands on a plain surface beside a handwritten number label card at lower left.
