Image description: Round-bottomed bowls contained perfumed water that servants poured over the hands. They are frequently engraved with fish on the inside, but this bowl instead has flying ducks on its outer surface. According to the Arabic inscription, the bowl was made for an officer of Sultan al-Malik al-Nasir. Several Mamluk sultans were titled al-Nasir but the style of the bowl suggests that its owner was in the service of al-Nasir Muhammad (1293-1341) during the later decades of his long reign.
