Ku34. This bowl is in the traditional Kutch coriander-leaf pattern, with a lion, a hare, and a hound appearing amid the swirling, foliate coriander. The work is fairly sophisticated, even if not quite up to the level of the work of Oomersee Mawji. What is unusual—and very decorative—is the pattern’s pierced openwork, which is very finely executed.
