 This bowl is shaped like a copy of a bronze bowl with ears on five sides of the body, and is made entirely of thick material. The center of the prospect is a circular window with a dragon and flowers and chrysanthemum patterns on the inner two sides, and on the outer side are five horsefighters, each with a tree on the left and right. Generally, Wuzhou red glaze is overglaze painted only in red and green, but this piece by Yeokawa is unusual in that it is overglazed with yellow, blue, and purple for the figures on horseback. The inside of the stand has been deeply carved to show the clay.
