Lobed Bowl

second half 12th century
Not on view
This bowl’s lobed shape represents a departure from the standardized set of vessels produced in the Jazira and Syria in the second half of the twelfth century. It demonstrates that a more discerning and sophisticated market still existed despite the intensification of ceramic production for a broader clientele.
