12th 13th Century Carved Iran Seljuk Period Fritware Kashan

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Seljuk Period in Iran, specifically Kashan. The Jug with Running Animals, created between 1150 and 1220, is an exquisite example of fritware adorned with intricate designs carved and painted underglaze slip. Measuring at an overall size of 13 x 14 cm (5 1/8 x 5 1/2 in. ), this small yet striking jug holds immense historical significance. Its rim has a diameter of approximately 8.9 cm (3 1/2 in. ). The craftsmanship displayed on this piece is truly awe-inspiring. The design features running animals that are skillfully depicted using the silhouette technique, also known as "silhouette ware". This method involves carving out shapes from the clay body and then painting them with colored slips before firing. The result is a visually stunning contrast between the dark figures and the lighter background. As we admire this ancient treasure captured through photography, we can't help but marvel at its timeless beauty. It serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of artisans during the Seljuk Period and their ability to create masterpieces that have endured for centuries. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also provides insight into Iranian history during this period. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to explore further into the fascinating world of ancient civilizations.
