Bowl with a Wagtail 

Exhibition information
There are currently no plans to exhibit this artwork at the TNM Collection Exhibitions.

A potter coated this serving bowl with watery gray clay. This liquid, known as a “slip,” did not fully cover the bowl. Seeing the resulting white shape as a rock, the potter expertly scratched away some of the slip to depict a bird perching on the rock.
