EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of the Pixides of Zamora, also known as the Zamora Pyxis, dating back to 946 during the Caliphate period. The pyxis measures 16 cm and is a masterpiece of Hispano-Moresque art from Spain.
The history behind this artifact is just as fascinating as its craftsmanship. It was given by Caliph Al-Hakan to Basque Subh, mother of his heir Hisam, in the 353rd year of the Hijra. The pyxis features Arabic writing, various plants, a unicorn, and other mythical creatures that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Arab civilization.
Displayed at the National Museum of Archaeology in Madrid and Medina Azahara in Cordoba, this piece exemplifies Islamic art from medieval Spain. Its vibrant colors and detailed designs showcase the skill and creativity of artisans from that era.
As you admire this photo print, let yourself be transported back in time to a period when artistry flourished under Islamic rule in Spain. The Pixides of Zamora serves as a reminder of our shared history and cultural connections across continents.
