Resum
The very rare find of the relic of the original lustre pigment attached to the glazed surface of a
sherd of 13th century AD Raqqa type lustreware from Syria has been analysed using a combination
of analytical scanning electron microscopy (SEM), micro-X-ray diffraction (XRD) and
Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS). The composition of the pigment relic inferred
from these analyses is shown to match those of recipes for lustre production given in the early
treatises by Jazbir Ibn Hayyan (c. AD 721–c. AD 815) and Abū’l Qasim (AD 1301). Similarities
and differences between this 13th century AD Syrian pigment and pigments used in the ninth
century AD in Iraq, in the 14th century AD in Islamic and Hispano-Moresque Spain, and in
the 16th century AD in Renaissance Italy are discussed.
