The bowl is deep, its rim curves outwards in large flat waves and is painted in glossy black. It is decorated inside and out with angular and round geometric patterns, typical Kadiweu patterns. These are notched into the clay, the notches are traced with white paint and the resulting fields are painted with the following colours: Shiny black, olive green, ochre, gold, shiny dark pink, reddish brown. Note: The Kadiweu use the same patterns on their clay products as for the body painting; see Strauss: Sad Tropics.
