DescriptionRound-bottomed bowl with slight constriction below rim. Six colors are used: black and white lines around the rim; a zone of dark red with series of solid circles of black, orange, white and buff. Each circle is flanked by two vertical lines; a white line seperates the red zone from the wider black zone on which a design of conventionalized slings (fide donor) in dark red and white is painted. The bottom of the zone is marked by a line of red-brown and the bottom is unpainted; the entire outside surface is highly burnished.
