Bowl with Rosette

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 453

The whirling rosette decorating the base of this vessel seems to be a trademark of wares made in Samarqand, and its appearance on wares found in Nishapur may indicate that they were imported from Samarqand. A pseudo-inscription in kufic script is repeated on the exterior of this bowl, in the same red as the whirling rosette.

Bowl with Rosette, Earthenware; white slip with polychrome slip decoration under transparent glaze
