Bowl with White-slip Decorations

Cleveland Museum of Art

The bowl, titled "Bowl with White-slip Decorations", is a ceramic piece by an unknown artist. The bowl has a wide mouth and a narrow base. It is tan with darker brown patches. The bowl's exterior appears to have a rough texture and a subtle sheen. The interior of the bowl is not visible. The base of the bowl is flat and has a small, dark brown ring around the bottom edge. A white slip decorates the bottom third of the bowl, with four rectangular sections. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The bowl casts a shadow on the surface below it.
