The interior of the bowl features abstract, incised and comb-marked decoration of swirls. It is covered with an olive-green glaze. Such monochrome bowls featuring sketchy designs were exported in large quantities from China during the Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279) and have been found at various sites in Southeast Asia.
