Bowl with incised decoration
Slipware vessels were widely produced in the Byzantine world for domestic use. Often, as here, the incised patterns were drawn from metalwork designs, suggesting that the ceramics were imitations of metalwork. The central interlace pattern on this work is also found in Byzantine manuscripts as a marker for readings in the Gospels.
