- Lot Description
Western Asia, Samarkand region (sometimes Samarqand, Transoxiana), ca. 15th century CE. A shallow bronze basin with a slightly emphasized rim and ornately incised interior. It features a motif that resembles a flower or perhaps the ceiling of an Islamic palace or mosque, its interior filled with dense written characters. The exterior is undecorated, the bronze allowed to sparkle brilliantly. Size: 9.75" W x 2.4" H (24.8 cm x 6.1 cm)
Timur (Tamerlane) founded the Timurid Dynasty around 1370 CE, making his capital in Samarkand. He quickly conquered vast swaths of Central Asia, Iran, Iraq, southern Russia, and even parts of the Indian subcontinent. This vast empire defeated the Mamluks and the Ottomans, but Timur died before his plans to invade China came to fruition. Aside from his brutal conquests, Timur created a legacy of outstanding Islamic artwork by bringing artists from all over his empire to Samarkand. The later Timurid capital of Herat continued the tradition and the pottery and metalwork made there was traded along the Silk Road and highly valued beyond the boundaries of the empire.
Provenance: private California, USA collection, by descent, moved from Germany in 1997, originally collected in the 1970s in Hamburg, Germany
