- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $500**
Central Asia / Near East, Iran, Samanid Empire, Nishapur region, ca. 10th to 12th century CE. A beautiful wheel thrown earthenware bowl glazed in green, yellow, and brown then decorated with a large bird on the tondo complemented by stylized geometric motifs in the field and linear bands decorating the interior rim. To create motifs the potter dipped the vessel into a white slip to create the ground and then painted the glazes on top. The bird’s flared tail and long neck with a crested head represent a peacock, an ancient emblem of royalty as well as Christian symbol of rebirth. Christians were a minority in this Islamic area, but there were established Christian communities in all the major cities, such as Nishapur. Size: 9.2" Diameter x 4.2" H (23.4 cm x 10.7 cm)
