Description

The lower part of a large bowl from the group of glazed open-form ceramics of south-eastern Crimea. The fragmentary state of the piece does not allow its form type to be established precisely. Decorated with engraving in the sgraffito technique with a line of uniform thickness under monochrome painting, corresponding to division II.1. In the centre of the inner composition is a medallion marked by a double line, containing a highly stylised image of a plant ending in four curling shoots with stylised flowers; around the medallion is a depiction of sepals. The surviving outside is undecorated. The typology of I. B. Teslenko is used. Dated to the second quarter of the 14th century. Published by E. R. von Stern (Stern 1906, pl. VII: 67). Scientific description by Yaroslav Chentsov.
