| Description |
The painted scene on this beautiful bowl is both
hypnotic and mysterious. As in a dream, the
writhing and coiling shapes of the creatures are
familiar and yet just outside the bounds of
reality. Did the bowl's creators understand what
they saw as part of the natural world, or were
they too drawn into a realm of fantastic,
struggling monsters?
