This is a round, flat dish with a simple rim. The background is a pale cream color, and it’s decorated with a pattern of red, green, and black shapes. Inside the rim, there’s a repeating design of leaves or teardrop shapes. The center has a faded drawing of what looks like a bird or a person, but it’s hard to tell. The dish looks old, with some cracks and wear around the edges. The colors are muted, and the paint is slightly chipped in spots. If you like this kind of handmade pottery, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more examples.
