Notes
This bowl, with its white clay glaze, is decorated with epigraphic inscriptions along its margin and in the centre. The word Ahmad is inscribed in the center and along the rim is written: “May he do what is praiseworthy.” The writing is precise, as this style also appears on many other bowls from Nishapur and also on 11th-century bowls from Lashkari Bazaar in Afghanistan. Nishapur bowls are usually decorated with moral messages or the word blessing. The inscriptions also often contain a name, which is usually the name of the owner.
