The oval, rather flatter clay bowl has punctiform indentations along its rim, some with holes. It is decorated 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, old pink, reddish brown, gold. Note: The Kadiweu use the same patterns on their clay products as for body painting; see Strauss: Sad Tropics.
