Notes
The Christian incense burner belongs to a group that was originally attributed to the regions of Syria and Palestine. This dating is also confirmed by the unique inscription of a prototype of Kufic calligraphy, which can be translated as follows: “In the name of God, made by Jacob son of Isaac of Damascus.”
