Fiziksel açıklama
Ewer painted in blue and black. Tips of plantain leaves start from the base of the flaring neck of the ewer which rises to a straight band filled with a rope design under the saucer rim. A double white band marks the start of the shoulder and its broad band of four roundels and a central star amidst a pattern of scales. A contrapuntal pattern of lozenges in the centre and half that shape above and under it has fillers of palmettes or derivative shou signs. A coarsely painted scroll band leads to the base ring. The outer handle has a chevron design and a rope motif decorates the spout.
