- Lot Description
Western Asia, Caspian Sea Region, Persia (Iran), Ziyarid Dynasty, ca. 930 to 1090 CE. A striking ceramic bowl featuring a large, artfully painted image of a bird on its interior. The bowl itself is a creamy white color, with the interior motifs mainly deep red-brown with splashes of green-blue. Black outlines and details, made using manganese-based glaze, further enhance the image. The bird, which has a long neck and beak in addition to very long, colorful tail feathers, appears to be landing gently on a scene with two large circles - probably signifying fruit and abundance - and a collection of floral motifs. Birds of all kinds have been a constant in Islamic art since its inception, and were popular both in secular art, like this vessel, and in religious art, where they symbolized the soul waiting to enter paradise. Size: 9.05" W x 3.9" H (23 cm x 9.9 cm)
Published in "Islamic Art at the Cleveland Museum of Art" 1944 pl. 36A; Also P. Pal, "Islamic Art at LACMA", 1973, pl. 13.
