This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the "Pitcher (waster)" dating back to the 12th-13th century. Crafted by an unknown creator, this ceramic jug represents the rich artistic heritage of the Middle East and Islamic culture. The pitcher's exquisite design and vibrant colors highlight its significance as a religious object. Housed in the prestigious Arthur M Sackler Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Institution, this artwork is a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship. Its location within this renowned educational and scientific institution further emphasizes its cultural importance. The glazed clay vessel belongs to the distinguished tradition of Raqqa ware, originating from Syria during medieval times. Its lustreware technique adds a mesmerizing sheen that enhances its visual appeal.
