EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an incomplete massive Mina i pottery storage jar from Central Iran, dating back to around 1200. Standing at an impressive height of 82.3 cm, this ceramic masterpiece is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Iranian school in the 13th century. The jar features a baluster body and vertical neck with a slightly everted rim. Its white body is beautifully molded and adorned with overglaze polychrome enamels and gilt. The shoulder displays a mesmerizing design of figures wearing colorful geometric-design cloaks, mounted on red and blue horses set against a backdrop of vines issuing vibrant palmettes. Above this intricate scene lies a striking blue-outlined star and cross lattice, followed by an undeciphered inscription in red-outlined blue kufic against a background of red-scrolls. The neck boasts an animal register, although only part of a cheetah remains visible today. Adding further charm to this remarkable piece are green and red dots adorning the mouth, while its interior is coated with plain cobalt-blue glaze. Despite being fragmentary, this jar exudes elegance through its ornate decoration and intricate patterns that depict various animals including horses – symbolizing strength – amidst wildlife scenes. A true treasure for any collector or admirer of medieval ceramics!
