EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Seljuk carved tombstone, hailing from the enchanting city of Yazd in South East Iran. Crafted in 1122 using pristine white marble, this masterpiece was created by the Persian School during the 12th century. Measuring an impressive 55.2x31.7 cm, it currently resides in a private collection. The tombstone's rectangular form is adorned with intricate carvings executed in sharp but shallow relief. A prominent band of bold Kufic script stands out against a backdrop of scrolling foliate motifs, creating a visually striking contrast. Above this lies another band featuring elegant Naskh calligraphy set amidst delicate scrolling vine patterns. With its mortuary theme and inscriptions, this ancient artifact serves as a poignant reminder of medieval funerary practices and traditions prevalent at that time. The carefully chosen text on the tombstone adds to its historical significance and provides insights into the life and beliefs of those who commissioned it. As an emblematic representation of Islamic art from Iran's rich cultural heritage, this Seljuk carved tombstone exemplifies both artistic mastery and religious devotion. Its presence evokes a sense of wonderment while offering glimpses into the past glory of Yazd and its vibrant Muslim community during the Seljuk era.
