bowl – (Iran Do Espírito Santo) ◄ קוֹדֵם הַבָּא ►

Artist: Iran Do Espírito Santo

תַאֲרִיך: 1353

טֶכנִיקָה: Terracotta

Resting on a low pedestal, this shallow bowl exemplifies the artistic fluorescence that occurred in 13th- and 14th-century Iran. Under Mongol rule, artisans combined techniques and materials from Eastern Asia with traditional Persian aesthetics. The vibrant colors and intricate geometrics on this bowl mask its less-than-perfect condition: like many pieces of ancient art that found their way into private and museum collections, this vessel has been restored from a fragmented to whole state.
