J. Howard Iams

This is a drawing of a rectangular decorative dish featuring ornate floral and geometric patterns. The bottom view showcases symmetrical petal-like shapes converging towards the center, with sporadic bulbous elements enhancing the design. The side profile displays a wavy structure creating arches along the dish's edge, echoing the bottom view's embellishments. The color palette consists of soft pinks and purples, lending an elegant appearance to the dish.
