Islamic dish stamped with a rhyming couplet in Kufic script from the Umayyad poet Muhammad Bashir ibn al Khariji:"Do not abandon hope, long though the quest may be..." The background around the inscription has been stamped in raised dots, imitating repousee technique in metalwork. The yellow metallic sheen shows that the dish has been overpainted in lustre.  OA 1963.4-24
