This beautiful object is a fragment from the base of a 13th-century #Syrian bowl.
It is decorated with a hare in an ‘arrested’ stance, that is with one of their front paws raised, and their head turned to the rear. Their two back legs are usually unnaturally lengthened, ending in glorious curving brush-strokes.
Base fragment with hare, 1201–1250. Fritware, 10 cm diameter. EA1978.2398 #globalmuseum #museums #ceramics
