It has a relatively wide mouth for its height and slightly surving sides. The glaze was degraded. It was incised with arabesque design and inlaid with white slip.
 

This is an inlaid buncheong bowl which is thought to have been excavated from a pit grave of early Joseon period. The inner base is inlaid with two concentric circles encircled by a yeoui-head band, and the inner wall is decorated with baoxianghua scrolls. In the middle of the outer wall is inlaid with three to four horizontal lines. The glaze was peeled off in parts, exposing the clay body, and there are traces of glaze running.
