- Description
- Handle and rim of a Bichrome bowl. Handle, rising from the rim, is slipped white on both sides and on top; vertical lines painted over the white on all sides. This pattern continues on the flat top and both sides of the rim, which has a square profile. Exterior: below the rim, the beginning of pendent semicircles. Interior: red-slipped. The way this fragment survives makes it look like a duck or bird, or possibly an animal. One might speculate that it was trimmed this way, and may have been given to a child as a toy.
