Notes
Medium-sized jug, with a semi-spherical body and S-shaped handle; It rests on a small, unpainted base. The jug is typically decorated with regular horizontal and zigzag bands, colored with black pigment on the originally unglazed body, which was later overglazed. Raqqa was one of two major ceramic production centers in Ayyubid Syria, while Rusafa was the second. In Raqqa, there were a number of ceramics manufacturing workshops, and they produced a large collection of pottery vessels. Some of them have a metallic luster, are cut into engraved molds, and are decorated with underglaze designs.
