This small bowl is not as massive as the royal ones, made much rougher, but its shape - in the form of an oval “boat” - is also Sassanian. This is the work of some provincial master, who probably lived in the Transcaucasian possessions of the Sassanids, where the Turks and Khazars invaded repeatedly. The bowl was found in 1912 among the treasures of the Kagrat Kagan, and it entered the museum in 1914 as part of the Pereshchepin treasure.
