About MeEarthenware bowl with slightly curved sides and an everted flat rim. It is decorated on the exterior with vertical alternating bands of deep yellow ochre and brown glazes. The interior is decorated with swirling bands of deep yellow ochre and brown glazes spreading outwards from the centre. The flattened rim is incised with small wavy bands and then glazed in a mix of yellow, brown and green slips, with the green glaze flowing over the edge and around the underside.
