It's a small bowl, almost like a cup for pouring cream into coffee. The color is somewhere between cerulean and teal. Tiny black drawings and markings all around it. Maybe a person a giraffe a lion and a turtle. Maybe some smoke or wind above them blowing around. Slight texture and ware on the piece, but still looks to be in good condition. I would imagine it to feel like marble, heavy and smooth and comfortably cold.
Small and smooth and teal,
clean and crisp and curved.
Flowing and turning
giving and pouring.
A turtle leads the way
and a human in last place
Vast and round and cerulean,
worn and cold and crescent.
Drawing and marking
collapsing and relinquishing.
A sea underneath the heard
and and ocean within their whole.
A turtle leads the way! Love that.
