All around the rim of the bowl are the carved appendages and head representing the turtle form, with the head of the vonu (turtle) broken off [due to be glued back on by Conservation staff]. Large crack running the length of the bowl as if it had broken previously and was glued back together. Bowl is oval in circumference and highly polished.
