Catalogue Note
The presence of the IHS monogram (for Ihesus (Jesus)) started to appear more frequently on Hispano Moresque dishes in the middle of the fifteenth century. A similar dish, in which the IHS monogram sits on a ground of foliate scrolls like the present example, is in the Musée de Cluny, Paris (inv. no. Cl. 2241).
