**Originally Listed At $400**
Near East, Persia / Iran, Seljuq Empire (Seljuk, Saljuq), ca. 11th to 12th century CE. A wonderful pottery oil lamp boasting an elaborate form with a conical, openwork top section, a rounded base, a lengthy spout, and a sizable, lozenge-shaped tongue above a loop handle, all sitting upon 3 petite feet and enveloped in a lustrous green glaze. The spherical base is additionally adorned by vertical ribs, while a tiered knob tops the vessel. The Seljuks were a Turkic dynasty who ventured out of Central Asia in the early 10th century and conquered an enormous expanse, covering most or all of present-day Turkmenistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey and beyond. After inflicting crushing military defeats on a host of rivals, the most famous of which was perhaps that against the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071, the Seljuk sultans became major patrons of art and architecture. These lamps are beautiful examples of Seljuk art and reminds the viewer of Medieval Islamic folklore surrounding genies entrapped in lamps. Size: 6.3" L x 3" W x 3.8" H (16 cm x 7.6 cm x 9.7 cm)
