The Ilkhanid Dynasty, which reigned from 1256 to 1353, left behind a rich legacy of art and architecture. This Star Tile with Lotus Flower is a stunning example of their exquisite craftsmanship. Created in the late 13th or 14th century, it showcases the intricate details and delicate beauty that characterized Ilkhanic art. Another masterpiece from this era is the Rustam slaying jackal illustration from the Shahnama of Firdausi. The Ilkhanid Dynasty was known for its patronage of literature and this depiction exemplifies their love for storytelling through art. This Bowl, dating back to the late 13th or early 14th century, is an enigma as its creator remains unknown. However, what is evident is the skillful execution and attention to detail that went into its creation. A striking piece from this period is the Tile with Double-Arched Prayer Niche (Mihrab). Dating back to the 13th century, it reflects both Islamic architectural influences and unique Ilkhanid design elements. The Star-Shaped Tile with Phoenix captures the mythical creature in all its glory. Crafted in the late 13th century, it demonstrates how nature played a significant role in inspiring Ilkhanid artists. Not limited to decorative arts alone, even models like this House Model were created during this time period. This particular model dates back to the 13th century and offers insights into domestic life during that era. One cannot overlook religious symbolism either; hence we have examples like this Cross-Shaped Tile dated c. 1262. It serves as a reminder of Christianity's presence within an Islamic dynasty such as Ilkhanids'. Tiles remained popular throughout their reigns; thus we have another beautiful example - this Tile created by an unknown artist in early 14th century showcases vibrant colors and intricate patterns typical of ilkhanic pottery.
