A wide band of Arabic inscription wraps around the belly of the vase and reads 'al-yumn wa al-iqbal', meaning 'good fortune and prosperity'.Above this band, on one side, are two slender gazelles facing each other against a background of plant scrolls. In this location, on the other side, there is a large pattern of floral scrolls. It measures 14 1/8in high.
