Bowl with Pseudo-Inscriptional Design, 10th century, Probably made in Uzbekistan, Earthenware; white slip with polychrome slip decoration under transparent glaze, H. 4 3/16 in. (10.6 cm), Ceramics, The main decoration of this bowl contains a band of epigraphy that might be read as the graphic contraction of the word 'bi ’l-yumn' ('with happiness') or 'al-yumn' ('happiness'). The decorative aspect of the letters is clearly preeminent and goes to the detriment of their legibility, to the extent that the band might be regarded as a pseudo-inscription
