About this work

This is a round, flat dish with a scalloped edge. The rim is painted green, while the rest is mostly white with dark blue designs. In the center, there’s a big flower with thick petals and leaves. Around it, smaller leafy patterns fill the space between the rim and the flower. The dish looks old and a little worn, with some cracks and fading in the paint. The flower design is the main focus, but the edges have extra decorative lines. If you like this kind of hand-painted pottery, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more pieces like it.
