A bucket with an upper band of calligraphy above a band of meandering palmette vine similar to that seen here is in the Keir Collection (G. Fehérvári, Islamic Metalwork of the Eighth to the Fifteenth Century in the Keir Collection, London, 1976, no.24, p.47 and pl.8b) although the present bucket is more ambitious than that example in terms of the quality and extent of the engraving. A further example is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv.no.M.25-1923).
