Notes
An octagonal ablution basin. The interior is dug out with the ends framing the top and outside; The water jug appears to have a hole in it later, and the base has been cut off and it is missing a leg or a small leg. The outer edge presents decorations consisting of small-scale, engraved geometric elements (lozenges, squares and circles), while the upper edge along its circumference contains an Arabic inscription in Kufic script, in which we can read the word “Al-Malik” repeated without interruption.
