Notes
The small bowl has remarkably crisp carved black slip (liquid clay) decoration of high quality. It is an example of a distinctive ceramic tradition that developed in eastern Iran from the 10th century. Potters there took inspiration from indigenous metalwork and applied decoration in slip (liquid clay) of contrasting colours, in this case a dramatic black on white. They used the coloured slips to create bold designs based on plants, interlace, as here, and other patterns.
