- Description
- This Vase is distinguished by its well-done decorations of a series of ribbons which are decorated with floral decorations. The descriptions on its neck and on the body refer to Amir Ṭuqzutumur (d. 746/1345). The body has three medallions each of which has a complicated blazon inside in it. The blazon is a spread-wings eagle on its top, that is Sultan al-Nāṣir Muḥammad b. Qalāwūn’s emblem, with a cup that represents Amir Ṭuqzutumur’s position as cupbearer (sāqī), who was responsible for the sultan' s food and drinks.
