This example was sold at Bonhams, New York, 16 December 2022, lot 30.This is an example of a tsukumo-gami, an everyday household object—such as a lantern or, here, a basin—that takes on its own malign kami (spirit or numen) if neglected for more than 99 years. Reflecting the 'make do and mend' recycling spirit of the Edo period (1615-1868), tsukumo-gami served as a warning against unnecessary consumption, but could be pacified if the object was carefully and respectfully discarded before it reached its hundredth year.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ca. 1200 AD. A beautiful tray hammered from a thin sheet of bronze into a rectangular shape with a shallow basin and broad lateral panels with a pronounced edge. The interior of the basin is adorned with a central roundel with a bird, possibly a peacock and it serves as the focal point of the design. The roundel is flanked by two stylised fish(?), and further surrounded by calligraphic panels featuring blessings, adding a spiritual element to the design and reflecting the Islamic cultural values of the time. Bronze trays such as this one were often used for serving food or as decorative display pieces, with their ornate designs and calligraphic inscriptions serving as expressions of wealth, status, and cultural identity.Size: L:290mm / W:185mm ; 305gProvenance: Property of a London Islamic art specialist collector; previously in a collection formed since the 1980s.
Ca. 17th-19th century AD. A tinned copper basin with a hemispherical bowl sitting upon a graceful ring foot and boasts a broad opening. The interior is smooth and undecorated, but the exterior is adorned with two parallel registers of decoration that speak to the rich cultural heritage of the Islamic world. The upper band of decoration features calligraphy, a form of art that is deeply intertwined with Islamic culture and religion. The Arabic script is beautifully rendered, with intricate flourishes and delicate lines that demonstrate the skill and mastery of the artist. The text may be a verse from the Quran, a prayer, or a quote from a famous Islamic scholar or poet. The lower register is equally stunning, featuring a repeating motif of running hares against an arabesque background. The hare is a symbol that appears frequently in Islamic art and culture, and its meaning is layered and complex. In some traditions, the hare represents swiftness and agility, while in others it is a symbol of fertility and prosperity.Size: L:90mm / W:215mm ; 885gProvenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly in a collection of A. Kotlar, since the 1970s.
