Description:
Round bottom bowl decorated with eleven fruits. Height 9.8 cm.; diameter 19.9 cm. Painted in five colors. The fruits alternate in an orange-purple pattern except for the eleventh fruit where, in order to retain the alternating sequence, the artist painted half the stripes purple and the other half orange. Outlining is in white on a black ground. The rim band is purple and the interior dark red. The bottom is unslipped and very crudely burnished. Salt deposits have dulled much of the design area. A large spot, greasy in appearance, penetrates the entire wall in one spot. Illustrated by Kroeber, 1956, Plate 32f.
