- Lot Description
Near East, probably made in Khorassan, east Persia (Iran) / west Afghanistan, Seljuq (Saljuq/Seljuk) period, ca. 12th to 13th century CE. A brilliantly turquoise-glazed bowl in the distinctive style of Bamiyan ware (also Bamyan), its interior decorated with two stylized tigers molded in relief around a geometric star form in tondo. The bowl itself rises from a short, slightly flared foot to a deep body with steeply sloping walls and a slightly everted rim. The exterior is smooth, glazed the same color to just above the foot. Navy blue - almost black - manganese-based pigment used sparingly forms a linear/geometric motif around the upper rim. The tigers are probably a reference to hunting, a popular activity by elite members of this society. Size: 6.2" W x 3.25" H (15.7 cm x 8.3 cm)
A similar example sold at Christie's London on October 6, 2011 (Lot 61) for GBP 4375 (approximately USD $7000).
Provenance: Royal Athena, New York, USA collection; acquired from Yazdani Gallery, London, UK in 1995

#151744Repaired and restored from multiple pieces, with most of the repairs limited to one side near the rim. This restoration is well done and unobtrusive with only small amounts of added pigment. Nice deposits on surface and motifs are very well preserved. The turquoise glaze has attained a faint, glittery patina over time that is visible from some angles.Condition
