Bowl with Standing Figure
View through Harvard Museums
Examination under ultraviolet light reveals that almost two-thirds of this bowl has been overpainted. Happily, most of the large standing figure, from the top of the flattened head to the tip of the pointed shoes, is original. Details of the garment, such as neckline, lapels, and pattern of the skirt, are original ceramic surface. The figure’s shoulders and upper arms have been repainted, as has the leafy projection from the piece of fruit he or she holds in an upraised hand. The bird on the left is mostly original, but the other is overpainted, as is almost eighty percent of the upper walls and rim. The exterior is also heavily resurfaced.
