An earthenware vessel takes a shallow, boat-like oval shape. Two flat, rectangular handles project from its long sides. The surface is covered in a mottled, weathered patina of muted beige, gray, and brown with patches of reddish-brown. Fine chips are scattered along the top rim and handle edges. The bowl's rounded base casts a soft shadow, emphasizing the uneven, lead-glazed texture of its earthy exterior.
