This print showcases the exquisite "Minai Beaker with Seated Princes" dating back to 1180-1220. Created by an unknown artist, this Minai enamel painting revolutionized ceramic art by introducing true polychrome ceramic for the first time. The beaker boasts a harmonious blend of blues, greens, and purples, skillfully combined with sharp black and red hues - known as the most challenging colors to achieve in ceramics. The level of precision and control demonstrated in this artwork is truly remarkable. Every brushstroke on the fritware surface has been carefully executed to bring life to the seated princes depicted on the beaker. These figures exude regal elegance as they sit gracefully amidst a backdrop of intricate patterns and motifs.

Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, it serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. Heritage Art/Heritage Images beautifully captures this stunning piece through their expert photography skills. This print allows us to appreciate every detail of this ancient masterpiece from afar while marveling at its historical significance up close.
