From the museum
This large bowl with flaring sides is splashed with yellow, brown, and green pigments, which have run during the firing process, in imitation of Tang Chinese ceramics. Look closely: the bowl has incised decoration of a large palmette in the center and a split-leaf scroll pattern just inside the rim.
