Notes
This bowl is almost spherical but has a polyhedral body. The surface of the body is composed of areas shaped like rhombuses and triangles. The triangular area each bears a notched/grooved triangle, while the rhombic surfaces feature a medallion with a Solomon's knot in the middle. The bottle has a foot with a braided band. On the neck there is a geometric decoration and an inscription, the meaning of which is not known. The nozzle is covered with a mesh/sieve. It allows uniform pouring of liquid into it. The holes each have a special size. Bowls of exactly this shape are rare, although bowls with holes equipped with a mesh/sieve are not. It may have been used to sprinkle rose water.
