A turquoise faience vessel takes a rounded bowl shape, defined by a horizontal ridge below the rim. Encircling the body, pairs of raised, teardrop-shaped forms curve toward the base. These alternate with diamond-shaped clusters of four small dots. The vibrant blue glaze exhibits an uneven, pitted texture, with dark spotting along the rim. Light catches the raised relief, accentuating the vessel's tactile quality.
