Bowl 11th-12th century

This 11th-12th century ceramic bowl, with a diameter of 7.62 x 19.05 cm, is decorated with a combination of geometric and floral motifs. The bold, dark brown lines on the white surface are a common feature of this type of pottery, known as "slipware." The design features four stylized birds within circular frames, framed by a scrolling vegetal border. The central area of the bowl is a simple, yellow circle. The bowl exemplifies the artistry of anonymous potters during this period, reflecting a blend of aesthetic sensibilities and technical mastery.
