Description

The cup has a pinkish-purple engobe on which the central motif consisting of a large bird that dominates the internal surface of the object is painted. The animal is decorated with large white backgrounds, delimited by thin black lines and decorated, inside, with black curvilinear motifs. The two spread wings are adorned with a thick decoration drawn in black on an olive green background. The head is characterized by a large black eye. Beak and legs are painted in tomato red. The background is decorated with motifs in black, dotted in white and red. Near the edge runs a white frame with pseudo-Kufic characters in black. The distinctive element of the cup is the large spout: in all probability the container was used to pour drinks.
