Description

Photograph of a round, shallow bowl seen from directly above, filling most of the frame against a pale background. The centre has a raised ring with concentric circles, and a band of relief motifs runs around it: zigzag lines, dots, small square tabs and curling, animal-like shapes. The grey surface is worn in places, and handwritten labels are visible on the mounting card along the bottom edge.
