- Lot Description
Western Asia, Persia (Iran), Nishapur, ca. 10th century CE. A whimsical ceramic bowl with the distinctive decoration characteristic of ancient Nishapur. The interior features a black-on-pale yellow motif of an ibex, its body filled with spiral forms that also surround it, giving the impression that it is leaping through the air. The animal's massive horns curve over the top of the body and extend past its tiny, raised tail! The iconography of the ibex is seen over and over again in ancient Persian art, as well as in other parts of Western Asia. The massive horns offer a clue to the animal's symbolism: virility, and by extension health, strength, and power. The exterior of the vessel is a creamy white with abstract, avian-like symbols in black encircling the rim. Size: 6.75" W x 3.25" H (17.1 cm x 8.3 cm)
Nishapur, located on the plateau at the center of Iran, was a seat of governmental power in the medieval Islamic world as well as a great trading city along the Silk Road until it was completely destroyed by the Mongols in 1221. its pottery is some of the most unique and beautiful we see from this time period.
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
