EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact known as the "Cup with Running Ibexes" originating from Iran during the second half of the 12th century. Crafted by an unknown creator, this piece is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of Persian culture. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, also referred to as The Met, in New York City, this ceramic cup features intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. Made from stone paste and glazed with turquoise hues, it boasts incised decorations through black slip ground that beautifully contrast against its vibrant colors. The cup's design centers around running ibexes - graceful animals often associated with strength and agility. Their silhouettes are elegantly depicted on the vessel's surface, adding a touch of movement and life to its overall appearance. As an object steeped in religious significance within Islamic tradition, this cup serves as both a decorative artwork and a symbol of devotion. Its presence evokes feelings of awe and reverence for those who appreciate Persian artistry. Through this photo print, viewers can now admire every detail up close - from the carefully applied glaze to the delicate incisions that adorn its surface. It offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating Iran's cultural legacy in decorative arts.
