This cream-colored ceramic bowl features a wide, shallow basin and a small looped handle on the right. Dark brown parallel lines encircle the upper body, intersecting vertical stripes that descend toward the base. Small vertical marks ring the interior rim, while horizontal stripes wrap around the handle. The matte surface shows subtle undulations and hand-formed textures, lending an organic, earthy quality to the geometric ornamentation.
