Fiziksel açıklama
Bowl of fritware with moulded decoration in relief under a turquoise glaze. Deep spreading foot-ring, sides shaped into eight vertical flat facets and projecting lip. The facets are moulded with rectangular panels containing alternately, a pair of confronted sitting sphinxes and two equestrian human figures clasping between them a raised ring. Below each panel is an oblong frieze containing two animals to the left. Below these are symmetrical arabesques. The facets are separated vertically by cross-hatched columns incorporating caryatid figures. The glaze inside is transparent, and outside contains tin.
