The top and bottom are fully polished red. The central band is incised with cloud, rain, mountain, and lightning designs.  They are outlined in white with red and tan colorations.  It is a complex designed bowl.  It is signed, “Leonidas Tapia”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
