EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Fatimid brass figure of a roe deer, crafted in the 11th-12th century by the Islamic School. Standing at an impressive height of 16 cm, this naturalistic representation of a deer exhibits exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate metalwork that went into creating this stunning figurine. The brass material adds a touch of elegance and durability to the sculpture, while its shape perfectly captures the grace and beauty of these hooved mammals. Set against a serene grey background, the roe deer stands proudly on its hind legs, seemingly frozen in surprise or shock. Its posture and expression evoke curiosity and intrigue, making it an intriguing piece for any art enthusiast. This single object serves as both an ornament and a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Islamic art. It exemplifies how nature was often depicted in Islamic artwork during this period, with great emphasis placed on capturing animal likeness with precision. Preserved in private collection today, this rare Fatimid brass figure offers us a glimpse into centuries-old craftsmanship and cultural significance. Through this photograph's studio shot composition, we are able to appreciate every intricate detail that makes this statuette truly exceptional.
