Lot 287
ARTE ISLAMICA . A massive Kashan lustre painted pottery in the shape of a camel carrying a palanquin Iran, Kashan, late 12th - early 13th century Fritware painted with lustre over white slip and glaze. Big decorated ceramic figure in the Kashan style, characterized by the union of the miniaturistic and the monumental styles (cf. Watson, 2004, Ceramics from Islamic Lands, p.347). Two pairs of characters with a face “as round as the moonâ€, in compliance with the aesthetic canon characterizing the Seljuq period, are in fact the focus of the front and the rear of the canopy that the animal is carrying, and stand out against a multitude of swirling floral motifs painted on the white background, or enclosed in triangular or circular reserves. During the Seljuq period, the camels coming from central Asia and the dromedaries coming from Arabia, were the main means of transport, employed especially to carry heavy loads, and in such contexts represented, as in this case or in another example from the New York Metropolitan Museum (nr. 64.59) published in Canby, Beyazit, Court and Cosmos, the great age of the Seljuqs, nr. 140. Restoration works and one broken ear. . Cm 36,00 x 35,00.
Lot 356
Arte Islamica. An animal shaped bronze openwork censer with silver inlays traces Eastern Iran, 11th - 12th century. A censer in the shape of a feline, embellished with many floral motifs and a long three-pointed tail which maybe was used as handle. The object can be opened by means of a hinge near the neck, and the latter is decorated with Kufic inscriptions. Right under the hinge the incense burner is embellished with two painted animals. The "feline" has hollow eyes, and maybe the original object could be refined with two glazed ceramic inlaid – like the lot exposed in Rome during the exhibit "Arte della Civiltà Islamica", which ended last September. Another similar object is the one displayed at the Musée du Louvre (Accession Number AA19).. Cm 25,00 x 27,00.
