• Lot Description
  901 - 1000 AD or later. Medieval Islamic terracotta plate or bowl in a light brown fabric with a glazed interior. The interior glaze of the plate depicts a green-robed rider on a stylised chestnut horse, against a pale green background. Medieval Islamic ceramics developed as a distinctive tradition of decoration in Muslim lands several centuries after the original Arab conquests. From the 9th century onwards, distinctive Islamic ceramic styles, often involving glazed and/or incised decoration developed and spread across the Islamic world and beyond; Islamic ceramics also had an important influence on pottery production in Italy and in the Byzantine empire. Excellent condition. Provenance: From the important collection of a London doctor A.R; passed by descent to his son; formerly acquired the 1990s on the UK art market. Size: H:120mm / W:300mm ; 1100g
