EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Star-Shaped Tile from the Ilkhanid dynasty, dating back to the 13th century. Created around c. 1262, this exquisite ceramic piece is an exceptional example of decorative arts from Asia. The tile features a stunning design painted in lustre over an opaque white glaze, displaying intricate patterns and motifs inspired by nature. The star-shaped tile exhibits a harmonious fusion of aquatic life and floral elements. Delicately crafted fish swim gracefully amidst beautifully flowered plants and leaves, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle. The brown color palette adds depth and richness to the artwork while highlighting its Islamic influences. Originating from Iran's historic city of Kashan within the Ilkhanate empire, this Persian masterpiece reflects the artistic prowess and religious significance prevalent during that era. Its precise craftsmanship and attention to detail exemplify the mastery achieved by unknown artisans of that time. Now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian art collection, this heritage art piece serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. As viewers gaze upon it up close in this photo print, they are transported back in time to appreciate both its cultural significance and aesthetic beauty.
