Commentary
Jars larger than prayer meal bowls are also used for sacred purposes. Their shape often includes a terraced rim, possibly inspired by the forms of cumulus rain clouds. Design motifs used on this bowl are stars (crossed lines), cloud banks (inverted half circles), lightning (zigzag lines with arrows) and the sacred serpent Avanyu.
