A SASSANIAN PARCEL-GILT SILVER INSCRIBED BOWL

CIRCA 4TH-5TH CENTURY A.D.
The interior of the vessel decorated with a band of scrolling wave pattern below the thick rim, the centre with a large circle filled with smaller interlocking circles, probably drawn with a compass, giving the effect of flowers with six petals, the in-fill pattern consisting of fine dotted lines, an inscription derived from Aramaic incised around the top exterior edge of the vessel, perhaps giving the name of the owner and the weight of silver as 103 drachms
8 in. (20 cm.) diam.
