This ceramic bowl, adorned with Kufic inscriptions and originating from Nishapur between the 10th and 12th centuries, has endured both the passage of time and the challenges of history. It has been subjected to the natural aging process, resulting in an exquisite, aged appearance. Like many ceramics from the region, it bears the marks of previous cracks and repairs. These imperfections provide a glimpse into its long journey through history, surviving invasions and earthquakes that reshaped its world. With a diameter of 34cm, this bowl stands as a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of its time.
