Lot Essay

The best example of a cup of this form is in the British Musuem (Linda Komaroff and Stefano Carboni, The Legacy of Genghis Khan, New York, 2002, fig.255, p.209). A very similar example to the present bowl was in the Jay Gluck Collection (The World of Persian Pottery, Gluck Collection, Tokyo, 1980, no.281).
