Notes
The piece is a cylindrical jug made of bronze. It has no handle and a long neck. The jug is divided into two unequal parts by a decorative band. The body is cylindrical in shape and undecorated, while the shoulder is divided into narrow bands filled with short vertical lines. The jug may have been used as an ablution vessel for prayer, as many metal and pottery vessels were related to this type of ritual. This particular jug was found during archaeological excavations in the bathroom of the Umayyad Palace in Umm al-Walid.
