Description
A very rare and impressive antique to ancient ceramic vessel with animal motifs with decorative elements. This vessel appears to show a Tiger or feline attacking a Camel. Excavations in Nishapur, one of the capitals of the Samanid Empire (874-1005), in what is today north-eastern Iran and Uzbekistan, have shown that it was there that this kind of pottery, with its buff ground and most commonly a profusion of small motifs, was produced during the ninth and tenth centuries. Nishapur Decorated Pottery Bowl, Persia, Iran, Ca. 9th to 12th Century AD. Measures 9 inches wide x 2.75 inches deep. provenance: Ex Dr. Brian Healy Estate collection, New York.
