EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from late 12th century Iran - the Luster Bowl with Winged Horse. Created by an unknown artist, this ceramic artifact is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and intricate design prevalent during that era. The bowl features a stunning combination of colors, with lustrous gold hues adorning its surface. The horse depicted on the bowl is winged, symbolizing power and freedom in Persian culture. Its detailed patterned decoration reflects the influence of Islamic art and religious motifs. Crafted using stonepaste and painted with luster on an opaque monochrome glaze, this bowl exemplifies the mastery of Persian pottery techniques. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every minute detail and brushstroke that went into creating this masterpiece. Housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork serves as a window into Iran's rich cultural history. It stands as a testament to their artistic legacy and offers insight into their religious beliefs and decorative arts practices during the twelfth century. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and skill that once graced Iranian homeware. Although created centuries ago by an anonymous artist, its allure remains timeless, leaving us captivated by its elegance even today.
