Bowl

Cleveland Museum of Art

Bowl by artist unknown. The bowl is round and shallow with a wide mouth. The interior of the bowl features a predominantly turquoise and gold color scheme with black accents. There are two concentric black bands with intricate patterns around the rim and around the center. In the center, a man sits on a throne flanked by two smaller figures; two peacocks are below him. Eight figures on horseback or on foot are depicted around the central scene. The outer rim of the bowl has a turquoise and gold mottled appearance. The bowl casts a shadow on a grey background.
