Fiziksel açıklama
Fritware bowl covered in a turquoise blue glaze and decorated in overglaze colours with gold (minai). The bowl is decorated with an enthroned ruler flanked by two attendants; the inner walls are covered in a wide band of palmette scrolls. An inscription in kufic script borders the inside rim, and on the outside an inscription in cursive includes a date of 640 AH / 1242 AD. However, this date is painted over the top of a plaster fill, and is therefore not original.
