EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Islamic art: the falconer rider dish in ceramic, dating back to the beginning of the 13th century. Hailing from Iran, this exquisite creation is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail on this dish are truly awe-inspiring. The circular shape of the ceramic plate serves as a canvas for an enchanting scene depicting a horseman accompanied by his loyal falcon. This artwork beautifully captures elements of Persian culture and Muslim religion. The skilled artist masterfully portrays the connection between man and animal, showcasing their harmonious relationship through this stunning composition. The falcon perched on the horseman's arm symbolizes power, grace, and agility - qualities highly valued within Iranian culture.
