Description
List of goods and prices. Likely a household inventory, but could also be business accounts or a dowry list. In Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: Ottoman-era. Curencies: gurush (קרוש) and mathaqil (מיטאקיל). The items are mostly vessels, ceramics, and household items (e.g. ṭarārīḥ). One item seems to be "a Chinese Iznik dish," maybe Iznik porcelain on a Chinese pattern. (See mediakron.bc.edu/ottomans/iznik-dish-2.) There are also "Chinese coffee cups (fanājīn)." (ASE) Presumably those coffee cups are also porcelain. Paleographically, datable to the 16th or 17th century, which was also the period of Iznik porcelain. (MR)
