This print showcases a remarkable piece of Islamic art from the late 12th century. The bronze sculpture, titled "Art Islam: Burn perfume in the shape of a falcon" is on display at the Musee Du Louvre in Paris, France. Crafted by an Islamic School during the medieval period, this exquisite artwork depicts a falcon-shaped incense burner. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this sculpture are truly awe-inspiring. The artist skillfully captures the grace and majesty of a falcon, while incorporating elements of Muslim religious symbolism. This object not only serves as an accessory for burning perfume but also holds cultural significance within the Islamic religion. As we admire this masterpiece, we are transported back to the Middle Ages when beauty products played an essential role in society. This artifact represents both artistic expression and practicality, highlighting how even everyday objects were elevated to works of art during that time. Through this photograph captured by Photo Josse, we can appreciate the medium used - bronze - which adds depth and texture to the sculpture's form.
