Fragment of the base of a basin with an annular ledge, fired in an oxidising atmosphere, with a reddish fabric and fine inclusions. The outer surface is glazed in a monochrome honey-colour. In the interior, on a white slip, decoration with manganese oxide represents an epigraphic motif corresponding to the Arabic term mulk, which means power, referring to God's power.
