Kewa pottery is slipped with cream colored clay on which the design is painted.  In this bowl, it appears that an orange or yellow slip was used for the interior and exterior of the bowl, however, it was the firing temperature that turned the cream slip to an orange color.

The design is a double row of black triangles enclosed with an upper and lower framing line. The rim is black and has a line break that continues through the design on the vessel wall.
