Description
English: Bowl with pavonine bird with tent-like, raised wings. This image could represent Corvus, the Raven Constellation, the main star of which is described as a tent in Arabic.
Deutsch: Schale mit pfauenartigem Vogel. Bei dem zeltartige hochgestellten Flügel könnte es sich um das Sternbild Rabe handeln, dessen Hauptstern im Arabischen als Zelf bezeichnet wird. Irdenware. Zinnglasur, mehrfarbige Lüsterbemalung. Irak, 9. Jh. Inv. Nr. I. 12/62

As another plate with a possible star constellation in the same showcase is from Samarra, I think this one probably is from there too.
