About this work

This is a simple clay bowl with a wide, shallow shape. The inside is smooth and glossy, while the outside looks rough and earthy. Around the rim, there’s a band of white and black shapes—some look like zigzags, others like dots—and a few spots that might be peacock feathers. The bowl has small holes at the bottom, probably for hanging. The colors are mostly brown with white, black, and a hint of green in the designs.
