bowl

Round, rather shallow bowl made of dark wood with two very flat ornamental elements as a base. On the outside, the upper rim is decorated with a ribbon ornament, with vertical decorative elements emerging from this ribbon in four evenly distributed places. Inside the bowls, highly stylised, carved turtle figures are attached in the same places, two of which are broken off. The outside and inside of the bowl show signs of wear and scratches, and there are several cracks in the wood.
