This shallow bowl draws from the visual language of the Eastern Mediterranean during the early Christian period, when classical forms began to absorb new spiritual narratives. The wide, open profile rests on a modest foot, giving the piece a quiet stability that feels both functional and symbolic. Painted figures move along the interior and exterior surfaces, rendered in restrained reds and dark earth tones, recalling transitional iconography where Roman figuration met emerging Christian themes. The surface carries a deliberately worn plaster finish, evoking centuries of handling, ritual use, and rediscovery. Subtle abrasions and tonal shifts suggest excavation rather than decoration, allowing the imagery to feel unearthed rather than applied. Dimensions: 17 inches wide. 5 inches high. Material: Clay/Plaster
