The underside base of the bowl with manufactured faux cracks, and possible natural light fissuring. The top of the oviform vessel is rough, as intended, with a few very shallow losses to paint. The crackled surface has two larger cracks to side, whether intentional or not, impossible to determine. The horse hairs are tangled. Minor surface wear.
