This is an early type of celadon bowl featuring both relief and inlay decoration. Flower, grape, and child designs created using a mold cover its interior, while the three spots on its exterior and interior sides feature child designs within a circle. The innocent-looking children are either holding a lotus flower or fruit, or downing a bird with a slingshot.
