Notes
The piece is a fine porcelain urn of a creamy white colour. The jar has two handles, and it was decorated in several ways, such as engraving, perforation, and knife carving. The ceramic shapes that appear on this jar are a mixture of geometric and floral shapes, a decorative motif that was common in Islamic art.
