The lid is of shallow domical form decorated decorated with four marked huntsmen, and inscribed: 'In the name of God.

Blessing, victory, & support to the Vazir Abu'l-Mutarrif son of al-Manur Abu 'Amir Muhammad son of Abu 'Amir, may God support him.'

Provenance

Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, wrongly deaccessioned the lid as a fake because it was fitted on to a box that was.
