- Lot Description
Western Asia, Persia (Iran), Nishapur area, ca. 9th to late 10th century CE. An incredible buffware bowl bearing a brilliantly painted horse and rider - probably engaged in the act of hunting - adorning its interior. Using green, black, yellow, and creamy white pigment, the artist who made and decorated this bowl depicts a stylishly clad fellow atop a well-fed and equally stylish black horse. The figure brandishes two weapons, one of which is a curved sword. Birds and a leopard are also included in the scene, with the latter being a common symbol of hunting in this region. The exterior of the bowl is painted with repeated leaf-shaped motifs in the same colors as the interior against a creamy white background. Size: 8.55" W x 3.2" H (21.7 cm x 8.1 cm)
A very similar bowl was excavated from Tepe Madraseh, the largest area of ancient Nishapur excavated between 1937-1940 (see publication info below). This bowl features a hunter painted in black, yellow, and green, on horseback, wielding multiple weapons and surrounded by possible prey animals.
