EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact known as the "Bowl with Prince on Horseback" originating from 12th-13th century Iran. Created by an unknown artist, this ceramic bowl is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of Persian culture during the Seljuk Empire. The bowl's intricate design features applied decoration in polychrome inglaze and overglaze painting, adorned with gilded accents on an opaque monochrome glaze minai background. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail bring life to the equestrian scene depicted - a prince gracefully riding his horse. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back in time, immersed in the beauty of Islamic artistry. The foliate motifs surrounding the central image add depth and elegance to the composition. Crafted from stone paste or fritware, this royal homeware exemplifies exquisite craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. Housed within New York City's prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artifact serves as a window into ancient Persia's religious and cultural practices. Its golden hues symbolize royalty while reflecting Iran's deep-rooted connection with Islam. Through this photograph print captured by Heritage Images, we can appreciate not only its historical significance but also marvel at how it continues to inspire awe centuries later. This artwork invites us to explore Iran's rich past and embrace its enduring legacy in decorative arts.
