Glazed pottery with peacock decoration from the excavations on Mt. Nif (Olympos-Baspinar) [Nif(Olympos) dagi kazisi, başpinar buluntusu tavus kuşu bezel sirli keramik]

The Nif (Olympos) Mountain, which is located in the common borders of Kemalpasa, Torbah, Buca and Bornova, to the east of the Gulf of Izmir (Smyrna), has been scientifically investigated by Prof. Dr. ElifTiil Tulunay since 2004. The glazed pottery which is the subject of this paper, has been gathered during the 2008 season of excavations from the Middle Byzantine building which is identified as Baspinar A Church by geographical localization. The finding, which is quite unique with its peacock motive form, has been identified in the 13th century Zeuxippus Family I Ware.
