Notes
The plate is classified among the most beautiful examples of a rare group of pottery that came out first from excavations in Samarra and later from excavations in Susa. The set shares certain features such as a shallow shape without binding, a low-relief decoration molded with great precision, and the use of exquisite glass that covers the entire surface of the vessel, both inside and outside.
