EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of artistry and craftsmanship - the Fatimid ewer. Originating from Egypt between 975-1025, this exquisite vessel has been mounted by the skilled hands of Jean-Valentin Morel in Sevres, France in 1854. The ewer itself is made from rock crystal, giving it a transparent and delicate appearance. Adorned with intricate gold and enamel decorations, every inch of its surface tells a story of elegance and sophistication. The relief design features a majestic leopard, adding an element of regality to this already ornate masterpiece. Its North African origins are evident through the Islamic influences seen in the detailed patterns that adorn its body. This medieval treasure stands at a height of 30.7 cm, making it both visually striking and practical as a water pitcher. The collaboration between Egyptian School artisans who created the original ewer centuries ago and Morel's expertise in mounting it on behalf of Sevres demonstrates how artistic traditions can transcend time and geographical boundaries. Now residing within a private collection, this objet de vertu continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance. Through this photograph captured by eChristies Images for Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are able to appreciate the intricate details that make this Fatimid ewer such an extraordinary work of art.
