About this work

This plate looks hand-painted with simple shapes. The center has a cluster of black leaves and flowers with red centers. Around the edge, there are more leaves and what look like stylized birds or flowers. The colors are mostly cream, black, and red, with some brownish outlines. The design is bold and flat, with no shading to make things look 3D. The paint is thick in spots, especially around the leaves and flowers, giving it a rough texture. If you like this style, look up zigzag to see how patterns like these were used in other cultures.
