    "description": "The central medallion of this black-glazed bowl bears a woman’s bust in relief. Her head turns slightly, while her draped shoulders are frontal. Her hairstyle is arranged in waves and rolls, partially wrapped by a fillet. The medallion is surrounded by a border of stamped circles, and additional rings of egg-and-dart and raised molding decorate the interior. The female busts in the various examples of this type of bowl differ in clothing and hairstyle; it is unknown whether they represent women or goddesses.",
