EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Bowl with Two Figures on Horseback" a remarkable ceramic artwork dating back to the late 12th or early 13th century. Created by an unknown artist, this piece is housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago and belongs to their extensive collection of Asian art. The bowl's intricate design features two figures elegantly mounted on horseback, painted using fritware with in glaze and overglaze enamels and gilding minai technique. The vibrant colors, including turquoise and white, beautifully adorn the stonepaste surface. This Persian masterpiece originates from Kashan, Iran - a testament to the rich artistic heritage of this region. The attention to detail is truly awe-inspiring; every stroke contributes to the overall decorative pattern that adorns this earthenware vessel. Its religious connotations hint at its significance within Islamic culture during that era. In this close-up shot, we are able to appreciate every delicate brushstroke and glazed finish as it captures our imagination.
