Bowl with ring handles

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl has a wide mouth and rounded body with a short foot. The body is dark with a green patina at the base. Two ring handles are on either side. There are three bands of decoration around the body, one near the rim with curvilinear designs, one in the center with a geometric design, and one near the base that is not clearly visible. The inside shows patches of green and red patina. The background is gray. The title of the bowl is "Bowl with ring handles" and it is by an unknown artist.
