<p>This ceramic dish fragment was made using sgraffito, a technique in which an artist applies colored slip or glaze to a piece of pottery, then incises it to reveal the contrasting color of the clay underneath. The decorative pattern incised in the brick-red clay features interlacing vine stems with bifurcated leaves, a common Mamluk motif.</p>
