An image of Eight-pointed star tile. Pinkish-buff fritware, the upper surface covered with an opaque white glaze, painted inglaze touches of turquoise, blue and overglaze in lustre which has fired yellowish-brown. In the middle, a rabbit, surrounded by four leaves and eight birds against a background of small swirls and foliage, reserved on a lustre ground; the leaves outlined in blue and the rabbbit and birds touched with turquoise. Round the edge, a nashki inscription in lustre between blue lines.
