Description
Vessel fired in an oxidising atmosphere, with a reddish fabric and fine inclusions. It is circular, with a wide mouth, curved walls and slightly everted edge with a rounded lip, and disc-shaped foot. The outer surface is glazed in a monochrome honey colour. Inside, on a white glaze, decoration in green and manganese represents an epigraphic pattern corresponding to the Arabic term barak(a) (blessing).
