Ca. 1100-1200 AD.A pottery bowl with flaring form, resting on an elevated foot, creates an elegant and harmonious composition that reflects the refined aesthetic sensibilities prevalent during its creation. One of the remarkable characteristics of this bowl is its captivating glaze, which displays a mesmerizing array of shades of blue and brown. This multi-tonal palette is achieved through the application and firing techniques employed by the Kashan potters. The interplay of these hues creates a visual depth and complexity, transforming the surface of the bowl into a captivating tapestry of color. However, the lower section and foot of the bowl remain unglazed, showcasing the natural earthy tones and texture of the clay. This deliberate contrast between the glazed and unglazed areas not only adds visual interest but also accentuates the organic nature of the material. Size: L:70mm / W:150mm ; 165g Provenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1990s.
Ca. 900-1100 AD.A bronze bracelet, expertly fashioned in the round with a round-section shank, presents a captivating aesthetic with its finials designed in the likeness of snake heads. Notably, these intricately crafted serpent heads face each other, elegantly converging at the bracelet's focal point. The exterior of the bracelet showcases a meticulously executed ornamental design adorned with incised patterns, further accentuating its allure. Snakes held profound symbolism within Viking culture, particularly in the context of bracelets. In Norse mythology, serpents were regarded as potent creatures representing a wide array of concepts, including wisdom, protection, and transformative power. The depiction of snake heads as finials on Viking bracelets suggests a connection to these symbolic representations. The intertwining nature of the snake heads not only signifies unity but also alludes to the cyclical nature of life and the transformative journey one undertakes. Thus, these bracelets, with their serpent-inspired design, encapsulate the intertwining themes of protection, transformation, and the eternal cycle of existence, underscoring the rich cultural and mythological tapestry of the Viking era. Size: L:70mm / W:65mm ; 50g Provenance: Property of an Oxfordshire art professional; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1980s on the UK / International art markets.
