Decoration

A Barbary sheep, facing right, is surrounded by four dogs, of which three face the same direction. All animals have their body cross-hatched. The Barbary sheep is recognisable with its diverging curved horns and chest mane, which is only preserved in its upper part. The dogs have small ears and a small upturned tail and a dot at the throat, which probably represents a knot for a leash. The rim of the bowl is decorated with two series of five filled in and upturned triangles, placed above a horizontal line.
