Glazed ceramic ataifor with intricate Kufic script adorns a beautiful piece from Calatrava la Vieja in Carrión de Calatrava, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. A stunning white and green decoration showcases the site's rich history dating back to the Middle Ages, specifically during the Islamic era. This exceptional artifact is now part of the Ciudad Real Museum's collection, proudly bearing the catalog number DO000132. Carefully processed in Reality Capture from 441 images, every detail shines through. This remarkable piece of art belongs to the Almohad period (1195-1212), a time of great cultural and artistic expression. The citation "Alarcos‘95. El fiel de la balanza, 1995: 270-271" serves as a testament to its significance. We are proud to present this work as part of the collaboration agreement signed in 2020 between Global Digital Heritage and the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha for the digitization of Castilla-La Mancha's rich cultural heritage. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Museum of Ciudad Real, particularly its director José Ignacio de la Torre, for their invaluable collaboration.
