The image is a text-based article titled "LUSTRE: CERAMICS LIKE GOLD". The article is written in black text on a beige background. The text explains that ceramic finds from the Samarra excavation display a unique range of forms and techniques. One of the major discoveries of the Abbasid ceramic masters included the art of lustre painting, which shone like gold. In this process, the decoration, made from a mixture of clay and metallic substances, is applied to the body of fired, white-glazed vessels. The painted vessel is then fired again at a lower temperature. These ceramics were luxury items due to the complex procedure and expensive materials involved in their production (tin, copper and sil-ver). The technique spread across Iran, Syria and Egypt to Spain. It was used there and in Iran into the Modern Ages.
