Description
Cooking vessel fired in an oxidising atmosphere, with a reddish fabric and fine inclusions. It has a thick flat base, with diverging walls and a rounded lip. The lip has four semi-circular holes. The Arabic inscription al-Badr (seed) is incised on the bottom of the dish. Similar dishes are still used today in rural areas of North Africa for baking some types of bread.
