Alabaster or Marble Bowl

3D Model

Polychrome cylindrical vase with a flat base. The surface is divided into three horizontal bands, the central one being the narrowest of the three. Each band is decorated with tetrapetaled flowers in black and orange. The color scheme alternates: the upper and lower bands feature black flowers on an orange slip, while the central band is painted black with the floral silhouettes left in the natural color of the slip, in a stencil-like technique. The entire composition is framed by a red horizontal band above and below the rim, as well as an additional horizontal band encircling the base.
