- Lot Description
Near East, Persia / Iran, Seljuq Empire (Seljuk, Saljuq), ca. 13th century CE. A beautiful pottery oil lamp featuring a domed bowl with a circular fill hole at the top and lengthy, open spout that slants upwards at the end. The top of the bowl is enveloped in a pale jade-hued glaze and adorned with a lovely mold-made decorative program, comprised of 3 horizontal registers of linear, triangular, and circular motifs. A crisscross design with 2 raised dots also embellishes the slanted end of the spout. Size: 6.5" L x 3.4" W x 2.9" H (16.5 cm x 8.6 cm x 7.4 cm)
According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibition, "Court and Cosmos: The Great Age of the Seljuqs" (April 27, 2016–July 24, 2016), "Seljuq art abounds with depictions of real, mythological, and hybrid animals on objects large and small. Animal combat was a favorite theme in Iranian art... Harpies (composite creatures having the body of a bird and the face of a human) and sphinxes (beasts with the body of a lion, face of a human, and occasionally the wings of a bird) appear frequently."
