The Islamics utilized them in exceptionally great numbers, and a wide variety of styles exist. This particular piece features a nice pattern of linear decorations with a diamond motif on the spout.
AGE: Early Islamic, 7th-8th century A.D. CONDITION: Very good. Some encrustation and soil deposits on the body that partially obscure the pattern, but no cracks or repairs. DIMENSIONS: A little over 3.5" long |
