EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable dish from 13th century Iran, depicting a vibrant wedding procession. Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this ceramic artifact is an extraordinary example of the decorative arts of that era. The dish features a central veiled woman, believed to be the bride, surrounded by forty-four figures who form a mesmerizing cluster. The brown hues and intricate design on this fluted fritware dish are truly awe-inspiring. Molded luster painted on an opaque white glaze adds depth and richness to the piece. Made from stone paste, this Persian pottery exemplifies the skilled craftsmanship of its unknown creator. Located in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art object represents not only the artistic prowess but also reflects religious and cultural significance. Rooted in Islamic traditions prevalent during that time in Iran's history, it offers a glimpse into ancient marriage customs and processions. As we admire this close-up view of the dish's elaborate decoration, we can't help but marvel at its historical value and artistic beauty. It serves as a testament to Iran's rich cultural heritage and contributes to our understanding of thirteenth-century Persia. This print captures not just an artifact but also invites us to appreciate centuries-old craftsmanship while immersing ourselves in Iranian history and tradition.
