About this artwork
This fritware bowl has wide flaring sides and a high foot. The decoration on the inside consists of a four-lobed device at center, surrounded by two circles. The inside walls carry a three-part design, with three oval motifs alternating with three squarish panels. Each panel contains an Arabic word.
