Descriptions
- Description
- The inscription on this ewer gives the date 1202 A.H. (A.D.1787-8) and the name of the owner, Aisha, daughter of the late Abdallah Buldal. It also has four illegible Hebrew inscriptions, two on each side. Indian metalwork was exported to the Levant during this era, and it is possible that these inscriptions were added there.
