<p>[QUOTE="terry5732, post: 425889, member: 42"]There is faint decoration beyond what is obvious on the bottom. It does not go all the way though. The center of the bottom has more showing of wear than the rest. It is not perfectly flat and is a little higher in the middle. Wear from carrying should show all around. I see no similar wear look on the sides or edges of the bottom.</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks to me like the artist chose the raw stone with a vision of the creation beforehand. The orange veins are incorporated into blanket folds and such.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
