Fiziksel açıklama
Bowl of buff earthenware painted under a thin transparent lead glaze in purple-black, with touches of bright mustard-yellow and emerald green. Low narrow foot, slightly concave on the underside. Expanding convex sides slightly curved out at the rim. The lip cut with a straight bevel slanting inwards. In the centre is painted a stylised floral pattern surrounded by circular coiled tendril. Round it four peacock-like birds with raised fan-shaped tails face inwards. In the field are four pendent motives hanging from the border, small circles with dots, simple rosettes, and stylised Cufic characters. Inside the lip is a broad border containing a repeated inscription, with circles containing dots as filling. On the bevel of the lip are green and yellow bands separated by purple-black triangles or triple monticules. Outside, a radiating band of hollow pointed ovals containing green, yellow and purple-black streaks. The glaze covers the whole surface including the underside of the foot.
