About this work

This is a round clay pot with a handle on one side. The pot is mostly dark brown with white and black painted swirls and dots. The swirls form two big loops near the top, and there’s a lighter brown band around the middle. The pot looks like it was made by hand, with uneven edges and a simple design. The paint is rough, not smooth, and some spots show wear. Look up festoon to see how similar designs were used in other cultures.
