EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 11th-12th century plaque, of unknown origin, showcases the rich artistic heritage of the Middle East during the Near East and Persian civilizations. The plaque, likely a casting, was created using the lost-wax process, resulting in intricate details and a warm, rich bronze color. Its shape is typical of the period, with a flat, rectangular form and raised decorative elements. The plaque's surface is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and abstract designs, reflecting the cultural traditions of the time. The intricate patterns suggest a connection to the Islamic world, with influences from Persia, Iran, and the Middle East. The exact location of its discovery is unknown, but it is believed to have originated from either Asia or the Western Asia continent. This ancient artifact is now part of the vast collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), in the United States. The plaque's journey from its unknown origins to its current home in the US is a testament to the global reach and enduring appeal of the art and cultural heritage of the Middle East. Its presence in the museum allows us to explore and appreciate the artistic achievements of the past, and to better understand the historical context of the civilizations that created such beautiful works of art.
