Pretty excited- great find. This is the front "bowl" side. Those floor tiles are 10x10. Pretty big for a bowl. Detail of the carvings of Casowary birds & fish. More detail of other end of bowl. Very nice patina. Back of the food bowl. Note the legs next to the 2 square holes & the carved alligator. Detail of the alligator carving. I want to go back tomorrow & make a stupid offer on that Yam mask & see what happens.
