Description
Vessel fired in an oxidising atmosphere, with a reddish fabric and fine and varied inclusions. It is circular, with a wide mouth and divergent curved walls, with a flat lip. The base has an annular ledge. The outer surface is glazed in a monochrome honey colour. Inside, on white slip, it is decorated in green and manganese with an epigraphic motif corresponding to a fragment of the Arabic term mulk, which means power, referring to God's power.
