Evidence
"Lustre glaze over an ochre coloured engobe, having a similar lustre glaze. ... The decoration consists of elements that come close to the characters of Arabic script but they do not result in a legible text"
Remarks
The decoration consists of elements that come close to the characters of Arabic script but they do not result in a legible text; rather, the characters give the impression of fragments of words and characters poured onto the vase. Because of the employment of Arabic script, an orientalised ornamentation emerges. (p. 203)
