Dimensions: H. 8 1/2 in. (21.6 cm)Diam. 14 in. (35.6 cm). Date: 13th century.This fragment once belonged to the top part of a habb, a common water vessel from Mesopotamia during the early and medieval Islamic periods. Produced in considerable quantities, they served as the storage vessels for cool drinking water. Most comparable examples from medieval times have been found in the Jazira. The simple medium and shape ensured their cooling properties. Habbs were most often heavy, unglazed earthenware vessels with thick, porous walls and an elongated, sometimes pear-shaped, body with a hemispherical lower part, suggesting that they could not stand without a supporting element or without being placed in a hollow of the floor. The upper part usually has an outer ceramic wall around the neck, from which it is separated by a cavity, that adds insulation to augment the vessel's cooling properties and provides a surface for a rich decorative program usuallyChac Mool Chichen Itza figure with tray on stomach Mexico YucatanDetail from the Parthenon Frieze.
