Description

A lagyan is a medium-sized ceramic vessel made of clay. The object was produced on a potter’s wheel. The decorative design uses black, white, and green colors. The surface is decorated with an ornament composed of geometric figures and features indentations made with a sharp tool. Floral motifs are also present in the ornamentation and color scheme. The rim of the lagyan is decorated with a wide green band bordered on both sides by thin black stripes. The surface of the green band features a relief ornament depicting plant leaves. The decoration technique is glazed ceramics. The interior surface of the vessel is multicolored, while the exterior is white. On the outer side of the lagyan, closer to the bottom, there is a letter marking - the letter “Ғ”.
The lagyan was traditionally used in Uzbek households for serving fruit and pilaf.
