This globular bottle has a flattened base, and a nearly cylindrical neck that is sunken where it joins the body. The molded decoration, blown into a single-part mold, consists of a concentric omphalos pattern a flowerlike motif, respectively. Decorative elements are usually carefully carved in bronze molds, since each mold must be used to produce a large number of objects; the overall pattern is planned in advance so that the final result on the surface is orderly and clear. What stands out is the weathered surface, resulting in a whitish patina and an obvious iridescence.
During the Islamic period, the decorative language that developed in ninth-century Samarra brought with it numerous motifs, including the variations of simple palmette patterns visible on this vessel.
This is a rare example of vessels of this kind. Similar pieces can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
