Abstract:

The paper studies fragments of gilded and enameled glass vessels of Middle Eastern origin from a building dated to the pre-Mongolian period, excavated in Yaroslavl in 2006 by researchers from the Institute of Archaeology, of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The fragments seem to be parts of three beakers. Two of them bear inscriptions in Naskh script and had a fragment showing a human face in three-quarter view. Parallels support the contextual dating. A fragment bearing the image of the lower part of a man standing on the bank of water probably belonged to the third beaker. Discrepancy between dating it to the third quarter of the 13th century based on parallels and archaeological context evidence enables dating the emergence of vessels of this kind to the first half of the 13th century instead of the mid-13th century
