Drawing of a vase known as "The Alhambra vase". The ceramic vase is a good example of the development of the Nasrid workshops. This vase came from the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción in Hornos (Jaén) and it was acquired by the National Museum of Archaeology in 1875. This type of vase is very rare and few of them have survived.
