DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Ivory; the fig-shaped bowl is incised on the back with two entwined flowers within a border of scrolls.  The slender curved handle has a long rat-tail incised with an acanthus leaf.  The finial is in the form of a female term.  The bowl has probably been reduced in length, as the decorative border narrows then finishes before the lip.
