Description

The bowl is shown in side view on a pale surface, with a wide body curving in to a short ring foot and two small loop handles near the rim. Dark bands run below the rim and near the base, and between them the body carries vertical stripes, a narrow zigzag column and crossing diagonal lines forming X-shaped panels. A small chip is visible on the rim.

A bowl with a rounded body, a low ring foot and two small horizontal handles set just below the rim. Dark painted bands run around the rim and the lower body, and the pale surface between them carries panels of crossed diagonal lines and vertical bands of parallel lines, with a zigzag column in the centre. The bowl stands on a plain surface against a pale background, and the photograph is mounted on a card with handwritten notes beneath.
