The "Luster bowl sherd with peacock" is an 11th-century ceramic lusterware originating from the Fatimid period (Egypt). The lusterware, which features a golden peacock on a lustre glazed ceramic, was created by an unknown artist using ceramic techniques and is considered to be a part of a bigger lusterware bowl. The vessel was exhibited at Harvard from December 2, 2006 to March 23, 2008 during the "Overlapping Realms: Arts of the Islamic World and India, 900-1900" exhibit at the Harvard University Art Museums, Arthur M. Sackler Museum. The artifact at Harvard is a piece of a luster bowl that was acquired by Harvard in 1923 as a gift from Dr. Denman W. Ross.
