Notes
The dragon on this sides of this bowl and and on the interior is loosely based on Chinese dragons. However, the dense background of a leaf within a scroll was invented by Iranian potters. The overall design is an Iranian interpretation of Chinese designs.

A second and identical dragon also prances to the left on the other sidee, on a bed of scrolling leaves. Scrolling leaves and nine florets fill the innter rim band. The well is plain. A similar but more compressed dragon on a ground of scrolling leaves fills the centre.
