An iridescent glass bowl with a thin rim, chipped on our left, displays heavy metallic iridescence. Swirling patches of copper-gold, emerald-green, and turquoise coat the exterior, broken by mottled areas of black and brown. Fine horizontal ridges encircle the lower half, creating a textured base. The shimmering surface gives the weathered vessel a luminous, variegated finish over its squat, rounded form.
