Earthenware coated in a brown slip painted in white under or over a clear glaze
Brown earthenware coated in a brown slip painted in white under, or over a clear glaze.
Shape: flat base with an inverted pear shaped body, collared neck and a triangular rim. Rim and neck are irregular probably as a result of sagging in the kiln.
Exterior: rim and neck are painted with rows of dots between concentric lines. On the shoulder a Kufic inscription is surrounded by dots. On the body, between two bands of geometric decoration, a frieze of birds and cyprees trees are painted between a background of contour panels containing peacocks eyes and dots.
Interior: surface is glazed but undecorated.
