Splashed sgraffiato ware, the body of buff earthenware with high cavetto walls and an upright rim, resting on a foot-ring. The inside surface incised with simple foliate design, ornamented by scrollwork. Manganese and copper green splashes applied in big dots over defined areas. Pottery decorated with incised designs and splashed colored glazes was popular in most areas of the Islamic world. This plate belongs to a group of ceramics reportedly found at the site of Shahr-i Ghulghula at Bamiyan in Afghanistan.
