Fiziksel açıklama
Bowl of earthenware with decoration painted in olive-green, vermilion and deep purple on a white slip. Conical with slightly turned out rim and flat base. Light red clay. In the middle is a rosette reserved on a green-painted ground. Round the sides radiate alternate palmettes with reserved veins and large buds painted in green with inner markings of vermilion, and in the palmettes, a row of three deep purple spots. Buds and palmettes are in contour panels, the field being filled with small dots and circles with dotted centres. Round the edge is a scalloped green band. There is slip on the exterior reaching almost to the base. Round the rim are diagonal dashes of vermilion.
