English: All the figures, including the horseman, wear colorful, intricately patterned robes and low caps. The drawing at center, in particular the horse, is of considerably higher quality than that of the surrounding figures. A design composed of three circles arranged in triangular fashion is repeated in the vertical elements of the arcade enclosing the standing courtiers; known as chintamani, this is a heraldic symbol among various Turkic peoples, including those who dominated in the Iranian world in the early medieval period. Deep blue, green, aubergine, redbrown, and sepia are the predominant colors, which are applied in or over a white-cream glaze. An Arabic inscription in aubergine provides the sole ornament on the exterior. Written in naskhi, it expresses a series of good wishes to the anonymous owner of the vessel.
