Bowl with Palmettes and Rosettes

10th-11th century

Description

In profile, this bowl has straight, flaring sides and a low foot ring. The reddish ceramic fabric is completely covered in whitish slip, and the decoration is painted in red, purplish black, and olive green. Except for the inner surface of the foot ring, the vessel is covered in a clear glaze, sections of which have turned iridescent. The bowl has been reassembled from numerous fragments, most of which appear to belong to a single vessel; in the two areas decorated with small palmettes, however, alien fragments have been introduced. Overpainting that formerly disguised the joins between unrelated fragments has been removed.
