The bowl, one of a pair by the artist, is a dark brown color with a lighter brown rim. The inside of the bowl has a textured, mottled appearance. The bowl is shallow and wide, with a rounded shape. It sits on a white surface, casting a shadow to the right. The background is a plain white fabric or tablecloth. The bowl appears to be made of ceramic or pottery material.
