A lustre painted and cobalt-blue bowl in the Metropolitan Museum of Art decorated with a lively horse shows a similar shape, almost hemispherical in contour on a low narrow foot with radiating petal patterns on the outside (The Arts of Islam, exhibition catalogue, Berlin, 1981, cat.32). The Chinese celadon petal-back bowls from the Lung-Ch'uan kilns seem to have been the prototypes for this shape which became common under the Mongols in the late 13th and early 14th century.
