| Notes | Ayyubid period. The white‑bodied stonepaste introduced into Syria by potters from Egypt after ca. 1075 was a perfect medium for this technique, which involves carving the body in a way that prevented the colorants from running into each other. Formerly attributed to Iran, recent evidence suggests instead a Syrian origin for this so‑called Laqabi ware (copy from : http://metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/452936) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
