Description

This object is often discussed and debated by scholars, and is one of the most famous items brought to Venice after the sack of Constantinople in 1204. The seven medallions show figures from mythology, and both the interior of the rim and the exterior of the bowl's base are decorated with pseudo-Kufic inscriptions.
