Notes
A boat-shaped bowl decorated with animal shapes and floral decorations. On the edges there are bold calligraphic writings in thuluth script. Poor spiritual wanderers carried them like these bowls in their hands or hung them on their shoulders to collect donations. They sometimes donated to others in need. Kashkul is a Persian word from the words kash (meaning to pull) and kul (meaning shoulder).
