The solid cauldron is cast in a bronze alloy. The characteristic dot and circle motif on the outside is found on cooking and eating utensils such as bowls and spoons from the 9th – 10th century. Smaller bowls, also made of cast bronze, are known from Nishapur. The size of the cauldron makes it a rare specimen.
The cauldron could be stored by hanging it from a ring. This allowed the motif on the outside, which covers the sides and bottom, to be shown to its full advantage.
