Notes
This jug combines wheel-cutting and wheel-scraping techniques in terms of the intricate decoration that covers almost its entire surface: rosettes, flower buds, and almond-shaped patterns that stop at the neck and the applied belt handle. There is a strong decorative similarity between this jug and contemporary rock crystal jugs from Fatimid Egypt. This vessel was likely made as an imitation of fine eastern Mediterranean wares, but at a lower cost.
