A bright turquoise faience bowl features a deep basin with dark purple line drawings. Three fish with dotted scales swim among long-stemmed lotus blossoms and buds. The glossy glaze creates a smooth sheen that catches the light. A large, rectangular patch of smooth blue material marks a central repair. Fine, dark lines define the figures, while the vessel's thin, circular rim shows wear and small chips.
