This three-color Kewa polychrome dough bowl features white slip with black and red painted decoration. Encircling the body of the bowl are multiple square panels that are comprised of black triangle designs and four-point elements similar to flowers or other plant-like forms. Additionally, the shoulder of the bowl incurves with a flaring black rim for better stability.
