The Khalili Collections

The ewer is principally decorated with inscriptions, all benedictory – on the fluted body, the shoulders and the neck – and with cartouches with a crescent moon. The neck bears two sitting lions with their right forepaws raised, worked in repoussé, and on the spout is a lion couchant.
