Hand-Painted Faience Black and White Porcelain Figurine, "Elegant Afandi"

This vivacious Afandi—or sir in the Western world—enjoys a delightful lunchtime treat of Plov, a traditional dish usually eaten for the midday meal. Made as a tribute to Uzbekistan's customs, this porcelain figurine by Jurayev's Family displays a graceful hand-painted finish in a faience style, combining black and white hues to enrich the piece's cultural details.
