An earthenware vessel forms a wide, burnished bowl with a wavy rim. Two small loop handles extend from its gray-brown sides. Cream-colored designs wrap around the body, featuring delicate dots and scalloped lines at the top. Below, sweeping double-spiral motifs and sharp zigzags swirl across the rounded center. The sturdy form narrows at the base, accentuating its rhythmic, painted patterns and undulating, organic silhouette.
