Fiziksel açıklama
Bowl of glazed fritware painted in blue and yellow lustre. The sides slope obliquely from a small foot. Inside on the bottom, within a circular medallion surrounded by an Arabic inscription reserved on a lustred band, are two birds facing each other on a ground of spirals. The sides are painted internally with conventional foliage and small spirals in lustre, enclosed by a large border of cresting in blue outline. The outside is decorated with characters in lustre.
