An early 13th century en:Persian ceramic bowl with a composite body painted over the glaze with enamel. The bowl perhaps served to commemorate a decisive battle as a military trophy, since the intricate artwork on the surface of the bowl displays horsemen charging against a hilltop fortress with defenders firing back arrows and launching debris from catapults. Specific clues may provide insight as to which battle this portrays, clues such as a load-bearing elephant being displayed.
