Globular ewer with long funnel-shaped collared neck, capped by a feline head spout with open mouth, the ears turned backwards; a long handle connecting the shoulder to the spout. Along the belly, a moulded band of foliate motifs, close to the base, a register of vertical ribs.

Unglazed vessels have been often excavated from official Islamic sites from Syria up to Afghanistan, but often neglected in publications in favour of the smaller number of glazed examples. Both typology and decorative patterns were diffused over a wide area and sometimes attribution can be difficult to ascertain. In the case of our vessel, both shape and decoration would indicate a Central Asian origin, possibly from Afghanistan during the early Islamic period.
