Notes
The base of the Haqqa (hookah) is bell-shaped, densely decorated with star-like shapes covering the body and neck. There are also floral strips decorating the base and shoulders. Bidar wares originated in the city of Bidar in central India, from the fourteenth century AD until the present day.
