The designs on the exterior include a bird-like creature with spread wings, surrounded by cloud-like patterns and what appears to be flames or smoke. The interior of the bowl is lighter in color with a pattern around the rim that resembles a diamond or checkered design. The bowl sits on a flat surface with a shadow underneath it. The image is by artist Andreadis and titled "Bowl".
