A closer look at art Colour allowed to wander Bowl Yellow, brown and green pigments run across this bowl from ninth- or tenth-century Iraq or Iran. The museum relates its splashed colours to Tang Chinese ceramics. The firing process helped create the flowing surface: the potter prepared the colours, and heat gave them their final paths.
