Ceramic bowl
View through Harvard Museums
This conical bowl with high foot ring and rounded sides conforms to a type of Moroccan vessel referred to as a mokhfia, which was used to serve couscous. On the interior, the design is traced in brown, then filled in with a grayish blue, pale yellow, and emerald green. From a yellow circle at the center, the radial pattern extends to the rim; it features six pointed lobes containing stylized pomegranates on swaying stalks. Each pomegranate bears a multi-petaled flower. On the exterior, a wide border along the rim is filled with a loosely painted zigzag.
