Although there is not enough information on the development of the art of enameling in Azerbaijan in the Middle Ages, this is one of the rare findings. The inside of the cylindrical boiler was covered with one-color enamel, and the outer surface with polychrome. There is an inscription in the Arabic alphabet in the colophon with a central figure and a bird was portraid on the edges with botanical ornaments. The elephant was portraid on the bottom part by using the scratch-carve method.
