The gourd-shaped wine pot (right) is covered in a scaly motif that increases in size the closer it is to the base of the pot. The pot was sculpted during Korea's Koryo Period, 918-1392. The design appeals to me because it is perfectly suited for embellishing a spherical ceramic sculpture. Since the scales are not rectangular, they do not conflict with the bulbous shape of the pot.

  1. This is great the way you are thinking of adapting this design to your promise ball!
    I notice when I looked closely at the design that there is a texture inside of each pointed design. If you want something like that I can show you have to make a texture. Very interesting design. I have never seen one like it! Thanks, c
