Here is a description of the image:

The image showcases an antique ceramic bowl or dish. It has a circular form with a flattened base, indicative of its use as a serving dish or bowl.

The dish features a white background contrasted by dark olive-green painted details. The central design comprises a diamond or square-shaped area with Arabic calligraphy or inscriptions. The calligraphy style appears calligraphic or stylized, with abstract letterforms.

Surrounding the central diamond are two abstracted fish or bird-like shapes. The stylized creatures are painted in the same dark olive-green, mirroring each other with their heads curved inward toward the central area.

The edge of the dish is adorned with a decorative border pattern, created with alternating curvilinear and dot-like shapes in a repetitive sequence.
