It is made of blown glass and has a band of flattened ovals pincered below the rim. The glass worker formed the annular (ring-shaped) handle separately before attaching it to the body. It is difficult to identify exactly where Islamic glassware with such simple decoration was made. However, the discovery of similar wares in an 11th-century shipwreck found near the Turkish coast has provided further evidence. It suggests that this cup was made somewhere in the Eastern Mediterranean coastlands. Experts think that it was probably made in Egypt in the Fatimid period (969-1171).","physicalDescription":"Cup, green glass with pincered decoration forming a series of eight ovals just below the rim.
