This beautiful antique clay pottery dish from the Middle East. This dish is made of a clay based pottery, and has a small amount of remaining design and glaze left from the years.

There are remains of an anthropomorphic figure on the bottom of the bowl (a female), that has worn almost entirely away over the years. It also has a primitive writing (possibly a Kufic or Arabic relative) around the rim of the bowl. The bottom of the bowl appears to be raw clay, however there might have once been a glaze coat that has since worn off.
This is relatively a large bowl with some flaws and blemishes from the years of being used/buried. There are some light chips to the glaze on the inside of the bowl, and out. Much of the original glaze is missing. There are some chips. The figure on the base is almost impossible to make out. And there are many other blemishes and flaws.

This piece of antique pottery originated in the central Middle East. The design appears to be Islamic in style, and is similar to known examples that are estimated to date back to the 11-16th centuries. It’s believed that this piece originated in the central Middle Eastern region North or Northeast of the Arabian Peninsula. After extensive research it’s remains difficult to place an accurate date estimate on it. It is made in an obvious design that originated in the Middle East in the 11th Century AD, however this design has continued with varying popularity from then until modern times. Its height of production would have been in the 11-15th Centuries. The wear of this piece supports this age, along with its style roughly. There are some slight discrepancies in its design, however. The female figure in the bottom almost looks like it was produced with an East Asian influence rather than middle eastern. I am not sure if this was a mistake that was covered up by the original artist, or if it is there for some other reason.
