Abstract

The archaeological excavations that took place in the urban area of the city of Évora in the last thirty years led a very significant and heterogeneous collection of medieval-Islamic ceramic (8th-12th centuries), among which stands out a bowl with an ornamental decoration technique that have never been documented in the Iberian Peninsula until now. To present study discuss the results of the stylistic and analytical study developed on this piece. It reveals the originality of this new decorative technique, characterized by a brown / opaque brown background on which is developed a white and green decoration. This study aims to contribute to a better understanding of Islamic pottery in the Iberian Peninsula and subsequently in the Portuguese territory.
