- Lot Description
Near East, Persia/Iran, Seljuq Empire (Seljuk, Saljuq), Kashan, ca. early 13th century CE. A striking bowl featuring a deep turquoise blue glaze over a black manganese painted surface. At the center is a dancer, attired in pointed shoes and voluminous trousers, his arms adorned with bracelets, and what looks like a tall feather as a crest rising from the top of his head. He is surrounded by scrolling vines. In a thick border around him is a series of lines and chintamani symbols; above that, just below the slightly everted rim, is a dart motif. The exterior is glazed but has no decorative motifs; the glaze ends around the top of the short disc foot. Size: 8" W x 3.4" H (20.3 cm x 8.6 cm)
Kashan was a Persian city known for producing high-quality pottery during the medieval period. The iconography of this beautiful piece connects it to the corpus of known Kashan ceramics from the Seljuq period. These painted vessels frequently depict themes of courtly life: lovers, warriors, hunters, revelers, and dancers and musicians. The chintamani (also cintamani) pattern is more famous from Ottoman artwork where it denoted royalty, but seems to have originated earlier in Buddhist iconography to symbolize the three stones of Buddha; in this context, it should be understood as a sign of authority.
Provenance: Royal Athena, New York, USA collection; acquired from Christie’s London, UK, 1987
