The panel gives the beginning of the basmala, the name for the Arabic phrase ‘In the name of God the merciful and the compassionate’. Not long after this inscription was carved, it was reused as a gravestone. Venetia also speaks about a fascinating lustreware bowl, made using a technique especially associated with the arts of Islam. Made in the 11th century, it contains a rare example of Christian imagery.
